SELLING WITH SILENCE AND SPACE

There are two elements that help sell homes more effectively during the showing. One is undistracting quietness. The first thing prospective buyers should hear when they step inside is—NOTHING. The TV set should be off and so should the radio. You can also forget about that recording of “mood music” spinning on the stereo. If the prospects cannot stand that music or that performer, they won’t be in a “buying mood” at the start. As Realtors, we want them to be impressed by the serenity and security of your place the moment they enter. Silence at that point can do wonders.

A second important element is the look of space, especially extra storage space. Make your closets, basement, attic and garage (the usual lifelong collection areas) appear extra roomy by giving them a thorough cleaning. After all, the less you have to move, the better. What better time to start weeding out the valuables from the junk than BEFORE you show the house, not after?
