• Clean Windows

WHEN THE DOOR OPENS:

• Clean and tidy porch and foyer
• Does the doorbell work?
• Is door hardware in good shape?r
• Is the air fresh?
• Avoid strong cooking and pet odours

CREATING A BUYING MOOD:

• If possible arrange to be absent during showings
• Turn on all lights
• Open drapes in daytime
• Play quiet music
• Remove or restrain your pets
• Store surplus furniture
• Make closets clean and tidy
• Beds made
• Dishes out of sight

Note: Let your Tagari Team agent discuss the selling price, terms and other factors with the prospective purchaser. The salesperson is trained and experienced to bring your negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion. During the showings of your home, relocate yourself to another area of the house (away from immediate activity) or make arrangements to be away.

With a little effort you can sell your home at a better price, within a shorter selling time.
