Some Do’s and Don’ts -

 You probably want to make sure that you have successful showings.  Successful showings turn into proposals and contract offers.  So here are some showing do’s

  • Clean the home from top to bottom
  • Mow the lawn
  • Send pets to the neighbors
  • Keep things organized and clutter free

These simple tips will go along way with perspective buyers….and now some showing don’ts

  • Leave valuables out and on display.
  • Leave pcitures and personal effects out.
  • Clutter in the closets – buyers will look just about anywhere.
  • allow pets fur or smell to permeate the house and turn off buyers.  (Have a vacuum? Use it and neutralize any pet odors.)

These are just a few tips for successful showings….GOOD LUCK

Did you know?

February 24th, 2010

Consumers are demanding it and government is requiring it.  According to Green Outlook 2009 - Trends Driving Change:

70% of homebuyers said they were more inclined to buy a green home in a down economy than a non-green home and;

62% of all state governments have adopted green building policies (18 states have come on board in the last 3 years alone).

Just something to keep in mind when you are looking for your new home.  Green is going to be a big part of the future.
