Ensuring Viewings are Successful

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

As your real estate agent, I ensure we maximize the potential of every viewing and open house. To accomplish that, I advise you on how best to prepare your property, I market it to qualified buyers, and then, at viewings, draw their attention to the great qualities of your house.

When it comes to scheduling, I coordinate with you to select days and times that are as convenient as possible.  Weekends, in particular, are popular for viewings.

Although I do most of the work, there are a few things you can do to make viewings more successful:

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

I realize viewings and open houses can be a little inconvenient. As your real estate agent, I will do my best to minimize the disruptions. I will focus on bringing in serious buyers, rather than those who are merely curious. This speeds up the process and increases the likelihood of a buyer seeing your property, becoming interested, and making an offer.
