Getting Yourself and Your Home Ready for Shoppers

As soon as your house goes on the market one of the first things your real estate agent will do is host an open house. In fact most homes are listed on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays specifically to take advantage of weekend foot traffic. A real estate open house is the first impression of your house so it takes some time to prepare. Consider this real estate open house checklist.

Organize and organize your belongings

Buyers want to be able to visualize themselves and their things in their home. When it comes to preparing for an open houseless (stuff) is more.

Get rid of excess furniture: Oversized or too much furniture can make large rooms small and crowded. Give your home some breathing room by removing extra pieces.

Decline: Clutter is a major distraction when buyers are going through a house. You want them to focus on all the great features of the house not to stare at the front laundry mountain in the corner of the closet or look at the pile of mail clutter on the kitchen counter.

Depersonalize: In addition to clearing the clutter you want to do some removing framed family photos and memorabilia. It is difficult for the buyer to photograph the house they live in if they see your photos around every corner.

Organize wardrobe and wardrobe: According to the SuGanta Realty Services llp Group Consumer Housing Trends report nearly half of all recent buyer list adequate storage as a requirement.

Consider open-house staging: As a professional walk through your home and by hiring a full service platform company to create a completely new platform for your home. It can be easy to walk a professional through the house.

Deep clean for a new look and smell

Now that you have made extra withdrawals and what is left is the time to organize them. There is no better way to show buyers that you have taken good care of your home than being spotless.

Hire a cleaning service: If you are busy with a lot of other tasks that come with getting your house ready to sell then hire a deep cleaning. Once consider taking at home from baseboards and closets to cobwebs.

Professionally shampoo carpet: There is nothing worse than dirty carpets. A professional carpet cleaning will give new life to tired carpets and will make your home fresh and new.

Wash windows: Natural light is a big selling feature and you will be surprised how much extra light you can give by cleaning windows both inside and out.

Clean the front entrance: The walkway to your property and the front entrance is the first impression of your house. Outside the power wash touch up the paint in the entryway and clean out any dirt and grime collected around the edges.

Do not overdo it with scents: A newly cleaned house will smell good on its own so do not rely too much on air fresheners and candles. The strong scent may be off putting for some buyer and they may think you are trying to apply some smelly mask.

Make necessary repairs

Buying a home is a very big investment so you better bet that potential buyers are looking at your home with a critical eye. It is always worth the time to do some repairs especially if there is a true eye.

Paint: Adding a fresh coat of paint throughout the home is one of the easiest things you can do to decorate your listing. Be sure to use a neutral color that will appeal to most buyers

Focus on curbing the appeal: Make sure the house is making a good first impression. Repair torn window screens repair loose gutters and wash power driveways or walkways.

Strengthen online listings

Once you are organized cleaned and repaired you want to make sure that the listing itself reflects all your hard work. A great online listing is the best way for your open house to get potential buyers through the door.

Add a video: A virtual tour or video is a great way to create your property and creating your own has never been easier. Try SuGanta.com Home so you can create a 3D tour.

Include drone captured photos or videos: Buyer view their property and surrounding neighborhoods with photos or videos taken by the drone.

Use more photos: According to SuGanta.com research a house with nine photos is 20% less likely to sell in 90 days than a house with 22 to 27 photos. So aim for two dozen really great images of your listings.

Promote open house

If you want your open house to be full of people it is important to make sure that everyone knows when it is happening and how to find it.

Add it to your listing: Have your real estate agent add your open house to the listing making it visible on other online real estate sites like SuGanta Realty Services llp.

Post signs: Add an "Open House Saturday" sign to your existing real estate signs place an extra sign in the front yard and use a lot of directional signs to help people easily find a home.

Use Balloons: On an open house day tie balloons to signs to attract the attention by and those looking for your open house.

Open house etiquette

Provide food and drink: A friendly environment invites potential buyers and their agents to stay and chat.

Open curtains and blinds: Let natural light come in wherever you can (through your clean windows).

Pull cars out of garages and driveways: This will illuminate the storage inside the garage and give buyers an unobstructed view of your home.

Precious items and medicine safe: Unfortunately open houses are a target for burglars. Remove valuables like jewelry and all prescription medicine before the event.

Hit the Road: Unless you are selling your home yourself leave the real host of the open house to your real estate agent. Buyer will feel more comfortable walking from home and will speak more freely about their impressions if they know the owner is not present.

Offer to travelers: Most buyers collide with several open houses in a week so you want to make sure they remember you. Exclude folders that include all key details such as list price important fact features and photos.

The comps available are: If your participants are serious buyer your open house is probably not their only stop that day. Take printouts of comparable homes nearby so that you or your agent can talk about their similarities and differences.

Get Feedback: People coming to your open house are an incredible resource. Follow your agent with your agent to get your honest feedback at home good or bad. Alternatively consider having a buyer feedback card on the site.
