SELLING
The 10 Minute Showing Drill
You may
receive a call requesting a showing in the next ten minutes. The decision
to allow the prospective buyers in is yours. If you elect to cooperate
with the showing, the following punch list may help:
- Sound
- Turn off the television. Soft classical musical is okay, but
some people find it distracting.
- Sight
- Turn on overly light in the house - day and night. Every window
covering should be open (unless the view is unattractive).
- Smell
- Heat a pan on the stove and drop in a few drops of vanilla
- Kitchen
- Make sure dirty dishes are out of sight
- Bathrooms
- Close toilet lids.
- Living/Family
rooms - Hide clutter, magazines, newspapers, etc.
- Bedrooms
- Make the beds, don’t use the closet as a hiding place - try
underneath the bed.
- Exterior
- Keep the walkway clear, put away trashcans and toys.
- Children
& Pets Outside
- You too! Let the Realtor sell your home. If you are there the
buyer may feel uncomfortable voicing objections and their Agent
won’t be able to respond to these objections.
