Private viewings and open houses provide for great opportunities for buyers to view your property and get a sense of what it would be like to live there. Ideally, you want them to be impressed by what they saw– and to be motivated to make an offer.

As your real estate team, we ensure to maximize the potential of every single viewing and open house. To accomplish that, we will advise you on how to better prepare your home, we market it to qualified buyers, and then, at viewings, draw their attention to the showcase the best qualities of your house.

When it comes to scheduling the viewing, we coordinate with you to select which days and times will be the most convenient to you. Obviously, we certainly encourage you to be as flexible as you can, as being as flexible as possible will enable more buyers to see your property. Historically weekends, in particular, are the most popular for viewings.

Don’t worry about all the details. We will take care of all aspects of scheduling these viewings, as well as planning and hosting the open houses.

Although we do most of the work, there are still are a few things you can help us with to make viewings more successful:

• Make sure your house looks neat and clean.
• Remove your personal items such as family pictures. Doing this makes it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in the house.
• Find an entertaining place to go, such as a park or shopping mall. Buyers will be more comfortable if they can view the property without you being present.
• If possible, remove all your pets. You can either take them for a walk, or to a local pet sitting service.
• Ensure that the walkway leading up to your house is clear.

We will focus on bringing in serious buyers, rather than those who are merely curious to look inside your home. This speeds up the process will increase the likelihood of a buyer seeing your property, becoming interested, and actually making an offer.
