The for sale sign is in the front yard, and you’ve confined half of your belongings to make your house appear its best. The waiting game now begins as you wait to see if each new family that passes through your home will be an offer above the asking price.
If you follow these steps, an upcoming house showing will be a breeze, as your home will already be partially in order. By following these tips, you can leave your home looking its best before any potential buyers come to take a look.
Always accept a showing, no matter the amount of time they give you. Even if your house is untidy, you’re not feeling well, or the kids are unruly, refusing a showing could mean missing out on a sale.
While it may seem trivial, any home showing could result in a house being sold. With so many properties available on the market at one time, real estate agents advise their clients not to let buyers move on to the next tour. This timing versatility is especially crucial if it’s currently a buyer’s market.
Preparing for a last-minute home showing is key to ensuring the process goes smoothly. Even if you have kids who like to make a mess, there are some things you can do to make cleaning up easier.
Every morning when you wake up, take care of all the beds. After that, open all curtains and blinds throughout your home; by doing this part ahead of time, you’ll save at least 10 minutes for a hasty tidy-up if someone unexpectedly requests a showing of your house.
If you gave your house a once-over before placing it on the market, all you have to do from that point is maintain it. To prevent things from snowballing, set a weekly cleaning schedule for yourself with one task to complete each day.
When you get a call about a showing, will you be ready? Have a plan for what to do with the kids ahead of time. Can someone else watch them or let you use their place? Give them some warning so they can be prepared.
It is quite simple to prep your house for a showing. All you have to do is get up, go through your daily routine, and hide the clutter. Hopefully, after you’ve followed this technique, you’ll no longer dread those last-minute showings.
