Attracting More Potential Buyers to their Dream Home

As a Realtor, your goal is to help find your client’s dream home. You try your best to meet all their needs and wants while fitting into their budget. However, future homeowners can be steered away from their ideal home due to a bad first impression of the property. Attracting more clients towards their dream home is easier than you may believe. With these tips, you can help your clients find their dream home with the best first impression. 

Make Any Repairs 
​While it is the property owner’s responsibility to make any necessary repairs, everything that needs fixing is either listed on the property details or is noticeable to potential buyers. During an open house, you do not want your clients to think about the additional work they have to do for the house. Check with the property manager that all utilities are in working order. Houses tend to attract more buyers and can be listed at a higher cost when repairs have been done accordingly. 

Create a Welcoming Environment 
​The moment potential buyers step into a house, they envision what their future would look like living in that home. Creating the homely feeling in a house is simpler than some may think. Before the potential buyers arrive to the property, take a walk through the house and check every room. How the house appears can pique interest towards a house, but the feel of a home is what can seal the deal. Try adding a personal touch to every room. Some realtors put candles, place framed photos in the living room, make a playlist, and even make a tray of baked goods for the kitchen. You want this house to feel like home to buyers, so give them a look into what their home could be. 

Hire Professional Cleaners 
​A poor first impression can turn away buyers quicker than one can imagine. This impression does not only include the potential repairs or how the home feels to them, but the mess. Whether there is clutter, dust, mud, and so on, buyers are easily turned away from a home when they notice a mess. Hiring a professional cleaning company to clean a house before a showing will increase your chances of making a sale. A professional cleaning company wipes away any messes or clutter that would be noticeable to buyers. Messy areas and unclean surfaces distract buyers, and creates a negative energy no one would want when buying a house. Hiring a cleaning company allows you the freedom to show the house and all of its features without any clutter getting in the way.
