uses—for example, a home office or a playroom for small children.
Have Documentation and Be Informed of Your Area
Could you show each buyer supporting documents for the property? This will include any homeowner association or condo documents and disclosure statements. Another document you could show them might be a utility bill, such as water, to give them a general idea of what that utility will cost for your home. It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with nearby grocery stores, shops, parks, schools, etc. Buyers like to ask many questions about the house’s surroundings, so it’s best to ensure that you are well-informed about the surrounding area and what living there entails before you have any showings. Knowing the crime rate for the city and your location is also ideal. Not all buyers ask about the crime rate for a potential buy, but quite a few do.
Be Enthusiastic
How are buyers supposed to be enthusiastic about buying your home if you aren’t enthusiastic about selling it? Simple: they won’t be. Offer a warm smile and a greeting as soon as you open the door. Ask them if they’d like to wander around themselves or if they’d rather you guide them around. Positive energy is incredibly contagious, so keep your spirits high, and you should have no problem making a sale. If your attitude sucks, so will your odds of making a sale.
Stay Safe and Be Ready for Anything
Always remember to have someone with you when you show your home, keep your guard up, ensure that your house is clean
