When Welcoming Buyers, Consider The Five Senses. SIGHT: Light - Open the drapes, clean the windows, turn on the accent lighting. Natural light enhances one's sense of space. An Eye for Detail - See to minor repairs and you allow buyers to see the big picture. Simplify clutter, organize closets, and always keep the home ready for showings. SOUND: Peace of Mind - When buyers visit your home, tranquility is paramount. A quiet setting invites conversation between the agent and prospective buyers. Hear the Silence - Make plans to be away during appointments so buyers have a chance to picture themselves at home. SMELL: Positive Associations - The scents of polished wood and sparkling clean tile convey a sense of the new. A fresh coat of paint awakens the decorator's impulse. Freshly cut grass summons thoughts of outdoor relaxation. TASTE: The Power of Neutral - When selling a home, taste is all about decor. Use colors to wake up a room. Eliminate excess furniture. Don't underestimate the power of neutral tones; buyers like to imagine your home as a blank canvas. TOUCH: A Lasting Impression - Perhaps the most elusive element of showing your home is playing up the emotional appeal. What touches off feelings of "home" in one buyer might not appeal to another. When the right buyer falls in love with your home, you can be sure the agent will work hand-in-hand with them to begin negotiations. |
