It is not enough for you to just beautify your house to impress prospective buyers because there is the matter of creating the proper ambiance that will make clients feel that they are accepted and on friendly grounds.
Whether or not you're selling your home on your own or through the assistance of real estate agents, the basic tips for successful home showing remain the same.
The first is that you should always be ready to show your home to potential buyers. It is understood of course that the inspection should be conducted at reasonable hours. The point is that you should go out of your way to accommodate buyers if and when necessary. Always be ready to show off your home and greet your guests with a smile even if your guest comes in 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late. Buyers are anyway expected to advise you if they will not be on time for their appointment.
Unless you're selling your home by yourself, it is also ideal if you discreetly remove yourself from the premises when the agents are showing off your property. Buyers are generally more comfortable with agents than the homeowner, although you might prefer to have a personal feel of the developments. Most buyers are embarrassed to ask questions directly to the homeowners and will hesitate to subject the house to a thorough inspection. If you're doing the selling, you may open and close doors yourself and naturally, answer their questions. Do not hover around them at all times. They would want to see the house on their own and make their own observations.
As a home seller, it is also important that you remain slightly impersonal in your dealings with clients. This does not mean that you would act like a robot to your guests. The idea is not to engage the client in a serious discussion about sensitive issues like political or religious beliefs.
People have different opinions and reactions to dogs or cats so just to be on the safe side, avoid any unpleasant incidents, keep them in a secured place where they cannot cause any disturbance.
If possible, request character references from clients so you can be sure that you are showing your home to legitimate buyers only. You can verify the details they have provided (phone number, email, etc), by making a return call or sending them an electronic message. Whenever possible, there should be another person present in the vicinity while you are entertaining the client. In case you can't have somebody with you, play it safe and don't precede the client when entering the house and stay within easy reach of the doors. You can make a dash for the doors if the unexpected will happen.
