Your your home might be a fantastic location to raise a family or just live. The trouble, obviously, is a buyer does not know that and rather types an instant viewpoint on what they see initially.
Love at first sight is a cliched, but it has an underlying truth to it as do most cliched. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we always form a first impression of everything we come in contact with. The undisputed fact, however, is our first impression determines any subsequent decisions a majority of the time.
As a seller, it is vital that you understand a buyer's first impression of your home is everything. If the first impression is not good, the buyer will move on. It is as simple as that. There are two areas where you are going to make a first impression, so let's take a closer look at them.
Obviously, one area is when a buyer first comes to see the property. If you have a driveway, you should have it cleaned before showing the property. The list is endless, so just make sure the first impression is impeccable.
A less obvious area where a first impression is created deals with photographs of a home. Over 70 percent of homebuyers now do their initial shopping on the Internet. If you are not listed on a site, you need to be. Regardless, the key to your web listing will be the photographs. Upload as many as you can, but make sure they look great. Avoid dark, unappealing pictures at all costs. The process is like a dating site. The buyer will be pointing and clicking through a lot of properties, so take some time with your photographs. You may even want to incur the expense of a professional photographer.
One of the best ways to evaluate your property is to ask others to look at it and offer suggestions. Friends can be a good choice, but you must make clear to them that you want only critical comments. To this end, you need to brace yourself for such comments. Don't ask for their help and then get angry when they give it.
