Selling Your Home During the Summer? Have the Coolest Listing in this Hot Market!
Summer conjures up memories of cookouts, swimming pools, lemonade and fireflies......so, why not get the buyer that will be previewing your home in the right frame of mind?
- Be
sure you have some "punched up"
flower power for when the buyer first shows
up! Whether it be some fresh new plantings around the mailbox or
some bright potted flowers on the porch you just can't ignore the visual
of flowers!
- Is
your doormat fresh and clean? If you
have one that indicates you have pets - remove it. Instead, opt for
a crisp, clean straw mat in perhaps a summer color that coordinates well
with other attributes of your exterior. (shutter colors, front door
color, etc)
- Open all the blinds so that buyers
have a clear view of the front and back yards. Let the sun shine
in! (don't forget to clean your windows!)
- Make sure your air conditioner is set to a very cool temperature!
- If
you have scents in your home you may want to go for a summer
scent such
as a citrus smell, a crisp
herb smell such as basil or even a light honeysuckle scent.
- Offering
a light snack? Many sellers do! If so, opt for a lighter
snack such as a lemon cookie (instead of chocolate chip) and
some small bottled waters or a pitcher of lemonade! Don't forget to
offer some napkins as well!
- Show off your deck and grilling
area!
If you have a table on your deck be sure to have the umbrella opened and
the table staged. Yes, stage the table on the deck! Outdoor
serverware is perfect for getting the buyer to visualize what it might be
like to sit on the deck and have a late summer afternoon dinner.
- Have a large yard? Show it
off! You may want to
consider a soccer net or a Bocce Ball area.
- Do swimming
pool?
If so, make sure it is crystal clear and stage the decking area with clean
and well maintained chairs!
- Choose your music wisely. It's
always wonderful to have soft music playing in the background when your
home is being shown. Light jazz or blues is always a safe choice!
