Perhaps the most important aspect of a home showing is the buyer’s first impression. Buyers have a tendency to make up their minds within the first few seconds of seeing

a home as to whether or not it warrants further investigation.

The curb appeal of a home plays a big role in the first impression that a buyer has. While how the home looks from the outside is important, it does not equal the importance

of the first view that buyers get when walking in the front door. By the time buyers walk through your door their impression of the home is already partially formed. The

entranceway of the home has the ability to justify that impression or shatter it.

when entering buyers should be confronted by a warm, cozy, bright and pleasant smelling home. There is nothing worse then walking into a home and being greeted by an

overpowering pet smell or remnants of last night’s dinner. Try to avoid cooking anything with a strong aroma before shows. Also do not extensively use air fresheners, some

people will take this as evidence that you are trying to cover up a smell that cannot be gotten rid of. Fresh flowers are a nice touch and add a decorative air to the

entranceway, but be careful not to overdo it. People want to see the home, not the vase collection.

People viewing your home will have several first impressions as they move from room to room. It is vitally important that each of these impressions are positive and add to

the overall impression of the home. As buyers move through home they will be taking great notice of any flaws or negatives in the home. This is only natural as these are

things that they can utilize to bargain the price down during the offer process. After all, do the same when buying a home right? Of course, we all want the best deal possible

when making such a huge purchase.Make sure that the first impression that people have of your home is an impressive one
