These Three Selling Tips Help
Adjust Buyer (and Seller!) Mindsets
Selling your home soon? Sometimes
it can be hard for sellers to come up with the details that make their home
unique and appealing to buyers, especially since they’ve already decided to
move up or move on.
I like to offer these
three selling perspectives that help sellers to see their home in a favorable
light. Ask yourself these three questions
and see if you don’t begin to see your home with fresh eyes:
1. Where are the little luxuries in my
home? Remember, don’t think
big, think small:
·
Did you have a professional organize
your closet storage systems last year?
·
Are there built-in items in the garage
which make it a natural home for a future handyman?
·
Did you weatherproof and tune-up the
storage shed out back to double as a home office?
·
Do the kitchen cabinets have slide-out
shelves or other small luxury amenities?
·
It’s not all about whirlpool bathtubs
and brand new stainless appliances... look for the little wins that a lot of
buyers will appreciate.
2. Why does my home beat apartment or condo living?
Many first-time buyers
will have reached their limit with neighbors, noise, and cramped quarters. Sell
your home on its merits compared to the “shared space” life.
·
Is your neighborhood quiet?
·
How big is the lot?
·
What’s parking like at your house?
Conversely, you have empty nesters that are looking to downsize and would welcome the low maintenance associated with apartment and condo living.
3. What’s fun nearby? (Even if you don’t think it’s fun.)
Even if you’re not a
golfer, weightlifter, or theater-goer, those activities nearby can be a nice
plus for potential buyers. With a new home comes the hope for personal growth
and change, and playing up any activities that may catch a buyer’s eye are well
worth mentioning. Have you become blind to activities nearby, simply because
they’re not for you? Look again!
Of course there’s more
to selling a home than these three tips, but hopefully these will get you
thinking. For a more comprehensive sense of how I get my clients top dollar for
