(Here\u2019s a quick hint for making sure buyers are wowed by your home online, follow <span style=\"color: #008080;\"><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"https:\/\/stage2sellstrategy.com\">Tori\u2019s tips for home staging<\/a><\/span> before the pictures and video are taken of your home.) The more buyers who come through the better your chances are of getting at least one offer and an even better outcome is getting multiple offers due to all the buyer traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Make the Listing Known<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are not as flexible with letting buyers into your home that buyer who may be the one to make an offer may never get a chance if they don\u2019t get to see the home. In order to maximize use of their time buyers usually set a few home viewing appointments on the same day. When a particular home is a lone standout that is not allowed to be shown (for whatever reason) the chances of those same buyers wanting to come back just to see that home may not be as likely. The buyers might already have liked something they were able to see and as a result feel no need to see anything else. The end result is fewer buyers and lower chances of an offer for that home where it is difficult to get in for a showing.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3957\" src=\"http:\/\/toritoth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Untitled-design-65.png\" alt=\"Untitled design-65\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Open the Door When Opportunity Knocks<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A perfect example of being flexible with a home showing involves a house I had recently listed that had a few challenges in getting sold. One day a buyer couple whose husband was about to go out of town asked for a showing of the home that same night with very little notice. While inconvenient for the sellers, they cleaned up the house as best as they could and allowed the buyers to view the home about an hour after the request was made. Those buyers loved the home so much they ended up making an offer which ultimately resulted in the home being sold to them. If the sellers had decided not to show the home on such short notice the buyers might have forgotten or got caught up in their daily life and not been able to visit the home again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Timing is Everything<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a home seller it is in your best interest to make sure your home is not only ready for showings but that buyers can come based on their time frames. While no one is suggesting you let buyers come with 2 minutes notice or come at odd hours of the night, by being flexible in letting buyers view your home you increase your chances of letting in that buyer who loves your home and wants to buy it.<\/span><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Paul Sian, Realtor with HER Realtors is licensed in the states of Ohio and Kentucky.
