So here are just some points to take into consideration when staging an open home. #homesellerstip #wednesdaytips 1. Repair and update. Prospective buyers won't ignore even minor problems in a house so you'll want to have your home in a tip-top shape before holding an open house. 2. Declutter. Editing your decor will help make the sale. Give buyers the opportunity to picture themselves living in your home and getting rid of unnecessary personal stuff can help them do that. 3. Make your home spotless for selling. Clean your home from top to bottom. A kind of cleaning that maintains your home's value. Be mindful of the most common overlooked areas that may need a bit of cleaning. 4. Market your open house. So the best way to market is to go both modern and traditional marketing. Work with your agent because they are very much updated with the use of technology to reach prospective both online and off-line. 5. Make a great impression. Many buyers will visit and only stay a few minutes before moving on to the next showing. To stop them in their tracks, your home will have to make a great impression.

Being clever is very good. But you must like what you do, and it’s impossible to like everything. So if you have one thing that you like – then stick to it. And until you find that thing – keep looking. Cause the main thing is that you have to like what you do and then the rest will come by itself. - Harry Triguboff #mondayinspiration

Don't know what to expect on an open house? Here is a short tip for potential buyers on what to do and how to prepare. #buyerstip #wednesdaytips 1. Make a list of things there are important to you such as demographics of the area and the property's aspect, airflow, light, quality of carpets, state of repair, etc. Best to prepare this list before you attend an open house. 2. Although it is not a legal requirement, make sure to bring identification for the agent. Some sellers make this as a condition of entry to their property. 3. Take time to talk to the real estate agent. They are experts in the local area and if they know what you are looking for. Hence, they will be able to help you but just keep in mind that they are working on the vendor's behalf. 4. Make notes. It's better if you have a checklist. 5. Once the inspection is done, try to go over your checklist logically and not emotionally. Don't overshadow the negative factors that could lose you money over the excitement and thrill of finding something you like.
