You are ready to put your home for sale on the market. This is not an easy task and can be quite challenging and requires a focused effort on the sellers’ part. Of course, this is only important if you want to get the highest price possible for your home.

There are many different types of buyer’s but data shows 80% of these buyer’s purchase a home based on emotion. We want to hone in on this emotion and keep the buyer emotional and excited during the preview of your home. And best of all, you probably won’t have to spend any money to accomplish this.

The first thing you want to do is put on a “buyer hat”, go outside and walk up to your home. How do you feel? Are you excited? Do you like what you see? What could you do to entice the emotions of the buyer? In almost every facet of business we have heard the term “First impressions count”. This is also true in real estate. Another popular saying is “Does the home have curb appeal”? Both the inside and the outside of the home should have “curb appeal”.

When you walk up the driveway or walkway, how does the yard look? Is it neat, manicured and clean? Remember, this is the first thing a buyer notices. Secondly, when approaching the front entry, is it appealing to the buyer? Are there cobwebs around the door or ceiling of the entry? When is the last time you hosed off the walkway? How about the front door? Has it been beat up by the sun? Could you do something to make it look better to the buyer? These are first impressions and need to be addressed prior to putting your home up for sale.

If you ask an Interior Designer what’s important when you walk in a room and they will tell you that it is a “focal point”. When a buyer first enters the home what is the first thing they see? Be sure you don’t have a large piece of furniture too close to the entry as it will take away from the rest of the room. If you have a beautiful piece, show it off. Make sure it is positioned in the room so the buyer see the front of the piece instead of the side. If it is far enough away from the entry, then the buyer will not only notice it but the rest of the room as well. This sounds so simple but it is so important in keeping the buyer’s emotional state wound up. This really applies to all rooms in the home.

Rearrange your furniture to make each room look as spacious as possible. One misconception most people have is you have to have small pieces or accents and furniture in a small room. This is not true but on the other hand you don’t want accessories or furniture that is too large and overwhelming for a room.

Pay the most attention to your kitchen and bathrooms. They should look like “Mr. Clean” was just there. Take knick-knacks off the counters to show off all the counter space. Clean that self-cleaning oven. Do you think the buyer will not look in the oven? Be sure the dishes are in the dishwasher and not the sink. Make sure the floors, toilets, bathtubs are sparkling. Buyers will always feel more comfortable with the rest of the home if these areas are spick’n'span.

These are very simple and inexpensive steps. You will be amazed how much faster your home will sell and how much more money you will receive when you go to the closing table.
