Planning to do an open house soon? Here are a couple of do’s and don’ts to guide you:
Do’s:
Clean the home thoroughly. For a house hunter, there’s nothing worse than the prospect of cleaning up someone else’s dirty home.
Stage it with the right furniture and lighting. First, arrange the furniture to define each room’s purpose. Next, add finishing touches to make the property feel fresh, clean, and approachable
Don’ts:
Neglect your curb appeal. The property may be fresh and clean on the inside, but what does it look like on the outside? First impressions matter.
Don’t “Sell” at the Open House. Your purpose at your open house will be to inform and facilitate turning lookers into buyers, and never trying to sell them on the house outright. Yes, your purpose in hosting an open house is to sell the home, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor in doing so.
Sending you good luck and good vibes on your open house!
