Sparkle Sells FSBO Houses

First Impressions:

“You Never Get A Second Chance To Make A First Impression.”

This statement is never more true then the moment a prospective buyer arrives at your property.

Every detail leaves an indelible mark on the buyer's psyche, and buyers buy on emotion.
Their first impression of your house is critical to their buying decision.

• You are trying to create a powerful first impression for the buyer
• One that invites them to buy 

The yard, the driveway, the windows and the exterior must sparkle.

Buyers look for reasons to eliminate the property from consideration.

They look for reasons to discount your asking price.

By making your property sparkle, you hope to stop the buyer's discount clock from ticking. Add Sparkle - Sparkle Sells

You want the buyer to add up the benefits of buying your property. You want them to want yours rather than the one down the street.

Consider:

• Replacing Appliances
• Carpet
• Fresh Paint
• Windows Professionally Cleaned
• Landscaping
• Garage Floor Cleaned or Resurfaced

There are many things you can do to make the property more presentable and desirable.

Stuff to do to make it sparkle:

Mirrors make small areas seem large. Use mirrors extensively. Call a local glass company for pricing.

House Numbers. Get new large house numbers. Be sure they are visible from the street.

Odors - Quit smoking indoors while your property is on the market. Many buyers are allergic to smoke. You might lose a willing and able buyer if they detect smoke odors.

Pet odors -  Use a mild constant flow deodorizer. Keep litter boxes, bird cages, and kennels clean.

Entry  - Consider installing mirrors or recessed lighting. Consider a skylight.

Stuff - Collections, walls lined with photos, overstuffed chairs etc. are disadvantageous to showing the property. 

Rent a storage unit, remove clutter. Clean off  kitchen counter tops and put away small appliances.

Fill nail holes with putty or toothpaste.

Children Toys must be picked up. Keep all rooms clear of clutter.

Thin out clothes and shoes. Clutter creates a fear that there is not enough space. 

Consider having a yard sale. You might even find a buyer at the sale.

Arrange furniture in a manner that keeps walking areas clear. 

Think open space.

Be sure your home owners insurance covers mishaps to visitors Guns and Jewelry should be in a safe deposit box or other safe place while on the market.

Pets must be kept out of the way while showing the property. Birds must be in cages.
