TIP #3 The first Impression may be the most Important

And what is the FIRST Impression?

It has been reported that the first impressions of a home may be the decision making one.   If it’s a home, it starts with the landscaping and the exterior, so don’t be ruled out by a drive-by: Spruce up the yard, add a few flowers, get rid of the weeds, and if your home needs paint, start with the door and jams and keep going if you have the budget.  The prospect may have to wait at your door, so be sure it’s clean of dirt, cobwebs, and mold.   In the case of a condo, it may be the lobby or entrance.  Encourage your Board of Directors and Manager to keep the property neat and update when necessary.  Next, they’re inside your home and standing at the entrance, so make the most of this opportune time.  Here is where they make a VERY important decision.   You know that feeling (a gut feeling).   Go ahead and try it—Stand at your entrance and put yourself in the Buyer’s shoes—would you be excited about this home?   Create a warm and welcome--a place where someone wants to come in (and see more).   If it looks cluttered standing at the entrance, this is the tone you are setting.
