Showing
YOUR HOME
Showings are one of the most powerful tools in selling your home. They give buyers the opportunity to connect emotionally with the space, experience its true value, and envision it as their own.
A well-prepared showing can mean the difference between lingering on the market and receiving a strong, timely offer.
​
A clean, neutral, and streamlined look helps buyers to imagine what life would be like in your home. The action points below will help them be able to do that.
INTERIOR
Clean, Clean Clean
Vacuum, mop, dust fans, and wipe appliances, windows, mirrors, etc.
Declutter
Remove any unnecessary personal items
​
Depersonalize
Buyers want to envision themselves in the home, not you. Remove all photos and personalized decor.
​
EXTERIOR
The Yard
Keep trimmed, and free of clutter.
Flower Beds
Remove weeds, add fresh flowers and mulch for curb appeal.
​
The Home
Thoroughly rinse the home and driveway of dirt and debris. Paint home, trim, or front door for additional appeal. ​
Coordinating
SHOWINGS
When scheduling showings of your property, our goal is to provide an inviting environment for potential buyers while also protecting you and your home.
EXIT THE HOME
Make arrangements for you and your family, including pets, to temporarily leave the home during showings. Buyers feel pressured and will not stay as long in the home with you present. Our goal is to keep them comfortable and able to enjoy the home during their tour.
SET THE THERMOSTAT
It's often very hot in Tampa Bay –– keep your home at a cool and comfortable temperature for showings. Buyers will be inclined to stay longer and enjoy the home.
SCHEDULING SHOWINGS
Showings will be scheduled through an online service which will notify you in advance. Only licensed agents are able to schedule the showings for their clients and they must be present in order to enter. NEVER let a stranger into your home. If someone comes to the door wanting to take a tour, ask them to contact your agent.
REMOVE MEDICATION AND MAIL
We recommend you remove all medications, mail, and personal information from common areas and store in a secure location.
STOW AWAY VALUABLES
All personal items including jewelry, watches, phones, small electronics, etc. should be cleared from common areas and stored and in a secure location.
