Changing how you live in your home while it is on the market can have a major effect on how rapidly your home
sells. Sellers who refuse to change their life style may find their home, even if it’s staged, will linger on the market
for many months. Basically, all this relates to staying ready and making the buyer comfortable when they are
viewing your home.
Every time your home is going to be shown, you need to have the home “totally ready to show.” Like they say,
you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. There are a number of things that you should do:
• Don’t cook meals that have odors that linger or will turn buyers off. Often cooking fish or dinners like
sauerkraut will smell up the house
• No dirty dishes left in the sink
• All the lights on for showings
• Beds always made
• No parties or large family gatherings while on the market
These are a few of changes that you should make. The book “Top Dollar for Your Home” will give you a number
of guidelines that can be very beneficial for a quick sale.
