Preparing your next listing so it shows like a model home is the goal.  Even if you have little competition from other homes for sale, it's your job (and the seller's expectation) to market, advertise, show, and sell their home in its best light.  And the more competition you DO have, it becomes critical to show the best versus the other homes.

Don't miss out on inspiration, expertise, and networking opportunities. Let's do this! Here are the top 10 things to do before you approve the first showing: Start by Discussing with your seller clients that the way they live in their home when it's for sale is different than how they live in it when it's not.  Then, create your checklist based on these action items: 1.     Buyers make their decision on a home in two places.   First, from the street, based on curb appeal, and second, in the foyer as soon as they enter the home.  Make sure both places shine. It can net your seller thousands or tens of thousands more when you do this right! REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, https://alltheleads.com/harris -Landscaping may need to be upgraded, spruced up, re-mulched, or weeded. -Does the front door look inviting?  Add a wreath, paint it, remove a screen door, or whatever will make it look more like the front door of a Hallmark movie!  Add a welcoming doormat, some potted plants on the porch, or a new doorknocker for example. -In the foyer: The goal is to have a bright, spacious feel.  No coat trees, no furniture, no clutter.  Remember, you'll have an agent, one or two buyer clients and maybe their kids walking in for the showing.  It can't feel cluttered or congested.  They're imagining having friends over and being proud of their home.
