Let the agent sell your home. If you are not there, the prospective buyers can talk openly with the agent, who is well versed in handling objections and calming nerves. Children, pets and adults can keep buyers from feeling at ease while they look through a home. For showings, please be out of the house if possible. Turn off the television and stereo, even background music can be distracting. Turn on all lights for the entire showing. Open drapes in the daytime, close them at night. Strong cooking or smoking odors can ruin a sale. Make sure your home is fresh for showings. Create pleasant aromas by opening windows, putting out fresh flowers, or baking bread or cookies a bit before the showing. Have a lock box installed and leave your home ready to show whenever possible. Use an answering machine or another message system available so messages can be left regarding appointments. Make sure that the feature sheets of your home are left in a conspicuous place. If your supply is getting low, let us know and we will drop some more off. Remove and replace major items not included in the sale if you feel this is necessary - you don't have to remove small things - e.g.: dining room chandelier or the occasional window covering Often it is difficult for Agents to schedule appointments precisely. Expect Agents one half hour either way of the scheduled appointment time. If your sign is vandalized or dislodges, please let us know right away and we will have it corrected. Be sure to put valuables away. Although theft problems are extremely rare, you are always better safe than sorry.
