Top 4 Mistakes Sellers
Should Avoid during
an Open House
The open house is an opportunity for you to
show why buyers should choose your property
over other homes for sale in the South Tampa
area. It is normal for sellers to really prep up for
this big day. If you want to increase your chances
of getting your home sold, you should know what
things to avoid during an open house. Read on
for some common open house mistakes that you
shouldn’t commit.
1. Leaving a mess
One of the biggest mistakes that a seller can
make is showing messy, dirty homes to potential
buyers. If you want your luxury homes for sale in
South Tampa to get that sold sign, you should not
leave any mess anywhere and clean up all
evidence of your home’s residents. Don’t assume
that buyers would overlook your clutter. Make
your home neat and presentable on the big day.
2. Complicate buyer’s access to the property
Your goal in the open house is to grant buyers
relatively free access to view your home and help
them envision themselves as the next owners. Do
not jeopardize your chances by blocking buyers
from a room, closet, unless it is an issue of safety.
Make sure to also align your open house
schedule with open house hours in your area to
ensure that a bigger pool of buyers could attend.
3. Forgetting the outside
Keep in mind that potential buyers have critical eyes.
They will check and scrutinize every area of your
house including the outside. If you want your
property to stand out from other South Tampa
waterfront homes for sale, pay attention to your
home’s exterior. Take the time to make your
driveway look nice. Clean the roof and the windows.
Trim the shrubs and put some flowers out there.
4. Neglecting the neighbors
Your neighbors can play a big part during the open
house because conventional real estate wisdom says
they can turn into seller clients. It is also important
to inform your neighbors about the schedule so they
will not be caught off guard by the open-house
traffic. This will also give your neighbors the
opportunity to reschedule other activities that can
have a negative impact on the effectiveness of your
open house.
Potential buyers judge a home within
minutes of steeping into it, that’s why
it is important to show your home in
its best condition. Avoiding these
common mistakes can also elevate
your chances of getting your home
sold in no time.
