17. Maximizing the appeal of your property First impressions are very important and therefore, we must maximize the interior and exterior appeal of your property to potential Buyers. There are many tips to consider that create an inviting and attractive atmosphere: • A clean and tidy interior and exterior. • A neutral and well lit interior. • A fresh scent. • Rearranging pieces of furniture to create openness. • Lights left on throughout the property during showings. • Easy access and an inviting doorway. • Clean windows. • Clean closets that are free of clutter. • Open doors. • Clean counter space. Marketing Program
19. Effect of Over-Pricing Sellers often believe that they can over-price their home initially and then reduce it later with no negative consequences. The graphs below show typical “Pricing” and “Activity” patterns. When a home first enters the market, a flurry of activity is expected as the demand in the area explores the new entry. With time the level of “showings” will drop off as new entries come on the market. The home that is over-priced risks missing this initial “rush”. Often by the time the home is priced competitively, it has missed its peak opportunity. Equally often, because it is now difficult to re-create this surge, the Seller may take less than would have been necessary earlier in the cycle.
20. a) It makes others look better b) Fewer sales people will show your home c) Buyers are unwilling to negotiate d) Lost time e) Reduces Buyer competition f) Unrealistic offers g) Principles of Substitution More Effects of Over-Pricing
