I think it’s a must for every Colorado Springs Realtor who lists houses for sale to also spend some time as a Buyer’s Agent. I’ve been
showing houses to potential buyers the last couple of days and it has been a great reminder for me of some important things for home sellers to remember:
- Don’t forget the importance of smells. Both pleasant and unpleasant. A musty moldy smell in your basement can make a buyer not want your home. And the flip side is also true, a pleasant inviting smell can make buyers feel more welcome in your home. Be careful using too much air freshener, scented candles, and incense. Smells are very subjective, what one person likes is very different from person to person. But how can you go wrong with the smell of fresh baked cookies that have just came out of the oven? (Smells don’t sell)
- Curb appeal is everything. Buyers can fall in love with a house before they even get out of the car. A manicured lawn, well-kept exterior starts to set the expectations. Buyers will automatically think that a well kept exterior usually means a well-kept interior.
- Set the mood on the inside. Turn the lights on, don’t leave it dark inside. If possible, turn on some nice soft music. Open doors to rooms, make each room feel inviting and welcoming.
- Point out unique features. If the house has unique feature that aren’t obvious, make sure they are pointed out. A small placard on a wall can do the trick to point out a security system, built in ceiling speakers, etc. Also, make sure a feature sheet is included inside the house, in a conspicuous easy to see place. If the house is on acreage, include a layout of the land. If it’s a newer house, you could also leave out a small copy of the house plans. The more visuals the better.
