Preparing Your Home For Showings
■ Make sure all beds are made; don't leave money or valuables out.
■ Make sure all dishes are either in the dishwasher or out of sight.
■ Tidy up the bathrooms. Hide prescription drugs.
■ Give the floors a quick sweeping and vacuuming if they need it.
■ Put lights on so the buyers walk into a bright home.
■ If you have pets, make sure they are out of the house or are secured.
■ Make sure there are no odors from cooking, pets, etc.
Step Out For Agent-Assisted Showings
Some homeowners feel it would be a good thing for them to be around when agents (with buyers) come through, others simply just don’t want to leave. But they should.
The biggest reason is that buyers need some “space” in order to make your space their own. Let them look at your home with their agent. Rather than feel like you’re watching and listening to them. If you were in their shoes, it's like being in a store and the only other person in the store is the owner. Even though the owner doesn't feel pressure, buyers do. And instead of getting a good feel for your home, they opt to leave quickly.
One Final Note:
Many people don’t realize that it’s important to get approved for a mortgage on their next home before they even begin to sell their current house.
If you have enough cash to buy whatever you want, then you will just need to attain a "Proof of Funds" letter from your financial institute.
For those of you that will be using the proceeds of your current home to help you purchase your next property, you'll need to contact your mortgage lender, sooner rather than later.
