It is not enough for you to just beautify your house to impress prospective buyers because there is the matter of creating the proper ambiance that will make clients feel that they are accepted and on friendly grounds.
This is important regardless of who is making the sales pitch and conducting the inspection, you personally or your real estate agent.
The first is that you should always be ready to show your home to potential buyers. Naturally this does not mean that you should entertain guests who come knocking in the middle of the night. It simply means that you should be flexible with your availability. Buyers are important and you should treat them as much, which mean that you should have patience and tolerance when dealing with them. Such instances however would be the exception rather than the rule because buyers will most likely inform you of their expected time of arrival.
If you are not conducting the inspection, make yourself scarce when your agent arrives with a prospective buyer in tow to inspect your place. The reason is that some buyers will not open up with questions if the owner is around even if you would want them to. Most buyers are embarrassed to ask questions directly to the homeowners and will hesitate to subject the house to a thorough inspection. If you sense that the buyer is too polite and hesitates, then you can take the initiative of opening up doors, putting on lights, and explain things. However, try to keep your distance. Allow them to roam around and see things for themselves.
It is not proper to be overly friendly with clients when you are trying to swing a deal. The trick is not to be intrusive but neither should you just stand there like furniture. The idea is not to engage the client in a serious discussion about sensitive issues like political or religious beliefs.
People have different opinions and reactions to dogs or cats so just to be on the safe side, avoid any unpleasant incidents, keep them in a secured place where they cannot cause any disturbance.
Make some discreet inquiries about the background of people who express interest in your house before you bring them to your home. You can verify the details they have provided (phone number, email, etc), by making a return call or sending them an electronic message. A good precaution would be to have somebody with you at the time of the client's site inspection. If this is not possible then make your guests enter the home (and the interior rooms) first and situate yourself by the door at all times. This way, you can easily run off if something goes wrong.
