You know, we go through a lot of effort making our homes ready to show don't we? The reason is obvious. We're gonna have company. Total strangers coming through our house! In fact, strangers that need to be impressed, because they just might be the buyers.
So, as any good agent would do, we tell our clients to "unclutter", "paint", "throw out", "simplify", "stage"... all that stuff. Terry Watson, renown advice giver said at a recent seminar I was at, "If I can smell it, I can't sell it!"
So depending on your circumstances, you had to endure a period of time where you felt like you were living in Buckingham Palace. Can't put your feet up... no underwear on the floor... make the bed!... toilet seat down... get that stuff off the counter.
But, now your house is sold. Finally! We can relax!
WAIT!
We've got two more hurdles. There is probably going to be home inspection (sometimes called a structural inspection)... then there's probably going to be an appraisal. Both of these events are very very VERY critical. So do yourself a huge favor. Set up your home as if it was a first time showing to a potential buyer! Yup! that's right. Because the person who comes in to do the home inspection and the person doing the appraisal is just as impressionable as any buyer.
So make it shine. Everytime someone related to the outcome comes in... then, you can relax! For more reasons than one!
There you have it! Hope this helps you. Like me on Facebook if you get a chance and if you want to make a comment on this or any of my blogs... have at it! Rock on friends!
