Open House Tips

An Open House is your time to shine as a private seller! It’s also your home’s time to shine and get sold! Here are some tips to make your open house go great…

Be Prepared: Your Home

You can spend the morning before an open house making sure your home is in perfect condition ““ clean, vacuum, remove the clutter, remove personal photographs, light come candles for a pleasant aroma (or bake some cookies), set the table, make the beds… The goal is to make your home look clean, open, and simple. Basically, try to make your home look like a brand new model home. This is your home’s time to shine!

Be Prepared: Your Information

Feature Sheets: Your buyers will most likely be looking at a few homes over the weekend. You want to make sure that they receive a feature sheet with your photos and info. After looking at 5-10 homes, some buyers might forget the special features of your home. You want them to have something tangible that they can take home and look at later. The ByTheOwner.com feature sheets will have a link to your listing so that the buyers can go online and see the photos and info again and again!

Legal Info: Along with the feature sheet, it is a good idea to have your lawyer’s information available for buyers. If they would like to submit an offer, they will need your lawyer’s information. You can attach your lawyer’s business card to the feature sheet and let the buyers know that they can bring you an offer and you will review it with your lawyer.

Your Knowledge: Buyers will look at 20-30 homes before they buy. They will most likely be knowledgeable about what is going on the neighbourhood. This is also your chance to show them that you know what’s going on. If you are prepared, you can discuss other properties in the neighbourhood. You can ask the buyers about other properties they have seen
