.Selling a Home - Page 1 . Preparing Your Home For Showings 1st Impressions Are Lasting Impressions You Only Get ONE Chance To Create A Good First Impression . Here are a few suggestions for preparing your home for showings. A small investment (mostly in time) will give your home that competitive edge over the competition. . Curb Appeal Neat outside appearance, nice lawn, touch-up paint). Curb appeal may more important than you think, as it will qualify (or disqualify) your home for a possible viewing of the interior at a later time. Getting buyers through the front door is the first step in selling a home. Create A Buying Mood Create a buying mood. Make the home warm in winter and cool in the summer and as bright as possible on a dark and cloudy day by turning on all lights and opening drapes (in daytime). Light up the fireplace and play some soft music. Well Maintained Make sure your home is well maintained. Replace burnt out light bulbs, repair leaky taps, oil squeaky doors, and in general finish all those little jobs you've putting off. It's normal for prospecting buyers to think that if minors repairs are not taken care off, serious repairs may have been overlooked also. Clean Cleanliness is of utmost importance. Nobody wants to move into a dirty house. Pay special attention to the bathrooms. Make sure there is no mildew in the bathtub and around the shower. Re-grout the tiles if necessary, just make sure all bathrooms are spotless. Perception Of Space Buyers want to get as much house as possible for their buck. Create a perception of larger space by getting rid of unwanted items and eliminating clutter in halls and closets. A great time to have a garage sale is before you put your home on the market, not after you sold it. Meeting Buyers When meeting buyers be friendly and courteous. Never follow them around the house as they are viewing it. Answer questions if asked, but keep in mind that this is not a social call. It's only an inspection.   Brighten Up Your Home Without breaking the bank New Look Get a new kitchen look by getting some new cabinets and drawer fronts. New door handles can make a difference. Paint It's the cheapest way to go about freshening up your home.  A coat of paint is a simple and easy way to change the look of your home. If painting the whole house is too big of a job, then make sure the most visible parts of the home, such as entrances and hallways (and wherever "little fingers" touch) receive a coat of paint. Neutral And Bright Colours When choosing colour of paint, keep in mind that neutral colours are always more desirable, as they appeal to a greater number of prospective buyers. Also, keep in mind that rooms with bright off white colours look bigger. Rooms with darker colours look smaller. It's A Numbers Game The greater the number of potential buyers your home appeals to, the better the chance of a more profitable sale. "Unique" homes are harder to sell as they have to draw from a small pool of buyers.
