Welcome to The Truth About For Sale By Owner

OPEN HOUSE, HOW TO HOLD ONE

1. The best time to hold an Open House when selling by owner or not is on Saturday and Sunday 1:00pm-4:00pm

2. Use a guest list to acquire perspective buyers contact information of everyone who views your home.

  

3. Allow as much light into each room as possible. Open all curtains or blinds and turn the lights on.

4. Play nice easy listening music in your home wherever possible.

5. Depending on the time of year a warm fireplace can be a welcoming touch.

6. OPEN HOUSE signs and flags will draw attention to the home and make it easy to find. Make sure you use sale by owner signs.

7. Run an ad in your local paper or in any free classified ads on the internet for your area.

8. Buyers will want to see a neat and clean home inside and out. A freshly painted home inside and outside not only looks cleaner but can add value to your home.

9. Make sure the garage is neat and clean and your vehicles are parked on the street if possible and not in the garage. Your garage will look larger if there are no vehicles inside.

10. Make sure all toys and garden tools are cleaned up outside.

11. Just prior to the start of your open house water the grass in the front and rear of your home.

12. Not every one is a pet lover so try to keep them out of the way.
