Fourth Inning - Appeal
Pitch 1 - Inviting
Curb appeal is very important. Pine straw,
clean windows, clean gutters, a flower pot, carefully trimmed bushes, a tended lawn...a
sense of order and maintenance are very inviting. Some people remove the
screens from the front of the home. Fresh paint to the front doorway is
always a great fresher-upper.
Pitch 2 - Interior
Clean, simple, light, fresh.People like windows and light...most
of us like bright, cheery rooms and a floor plan that suits for family and
for entertaining friends. The biggest challenge for most when preparing a
home for the market is the reduction of clutter. This point is often hard
for agents...telling the seller to get rid of "stuff"...it is in
your best interest and the clutter is a big thing. If the buyer sees all
of your stuff, they are not seeing the house. And, heck, you're
moving...this is a great opportunity.
Pitch 3
- Sensory
Pretend you are the buyer. Yes, baking cookies is good.

Coach's Tips
Pinch Hitters
The Energizer
Save energy for the outside because if your house is not appealing, no one is
coming inside.
The Shine
Reduce clutter, paint where necessary, clean, clean, clean. Organize. Clean windows
and all light fixtures. Clean counter tops. People can see your house when there are no
obstructions.
The Smells
Cat smell, dog odor, mildew, cigarettes…no one likes these smells. Cookies are
better. |
