Be flexible with showings. If
home showings are too much of
an imposition on your life,
consider going away the first
few days your home is on the
market. It can feel a bit intrusive
to allow strangers to trek
through your home, but
flexibility is key to getting as
many potential buyers to walk
through your home as possible.
When a potential buyer walks into
your home, you want the space to feel
bright and welcoming. Natural light
offers a sense of comfort and can
increase the overall value of your home.
Take advantage of your home’s natural
light by opening all curtains and blinds.
Don’t get emotional or get defensive
when you are selling your home. Keep
your emotions in check and stay focused
on the business aspect of selling your
property.
STAY FOCUSED
Be sure that buyers are
comfortable when touring
your home. If it is hot
outside, have the A/C
running and if it is cold,
make sure the heat is on.

a bridge loan can help you buy a new home before
selling your existing home. Talk to your lender
about the options that may be available to help you
secure a home before you sell.
Declutter as much
as possible before
showings.
You want each
space within your
home to feel open
and inviting.
Treat your agent as a partner, not an
employee. If you enter a partnership
with a “my way or the highway”
attitude you may have a hard time
working with your agent and the
result may not be what you’re hoping
for. Remember, your agent is there to
help you and walk you through the
process. Be open and accepting to
their feedback
Never turn down a
showing.
The call may not
always come at a
convenient time, but
that one showing
could be the buyer
you’re looking for.

Open the curtains!
Buyers love to see the natural light from
