Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Think Like a Buyer

People usually decide within a few minutes whether they like your house. Prospects start forming their opinion before they even walk in your front door. So, Mr. Seller, ask yourself if your house is presentable as it can be for a faster sale at the best price.

The best way to fins out is to imagine that YOU are a prospective buyer. You’ve probably been looking at other homes (especially if yours is already for sale), so approach your present home the way you look at other houses.

Get in your car and drive up to your home the way a prospective buyer would. Give the outside an once-over. Check the lawn, the shrubs, and the paint. Would some flowers by the front door be more inviting? Step inside. Is the living room cluttered?

Are the rooms dark or well lit? Does the condition of the kitchen turn you off? Just remember your own reactions when you inspected other homes. If you want to be a seller --- think like a buyer!
