Many brokers will want to show your home. We will always make an appointment with you in advance. The name of the buyer’s broker will be communicated to you each time. It is not recommended to allow walk-in visits, even to brokers. The broker code of conduct requires that an appointment be made before each visit.
When a buyer will be represented by another broker, we will not necessarily be present during the visit. The latter has all the necessary information and expertise to proceed without us.
On the other hand, in the case of buyers who are not represented by a broker directly, I will be present at each visit with all the necessary information and professionalism required to properly inform the client and engage in negotiations if need be.
VISIT FOLLOW-UP
I will follow up with the broker who arranged the visit to obtain information and to find out the buyer’s interest. I will contact you if I have obtained relevant information. Do not hesitate to call me if you think you have useful information.
PREPARATION OF THE VISIT FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS
Selling a home can close faster and at a better price if it is seen in its best light! It is important that your home looks good. However, we are aware that it cannot always be in perfect condition. After all, family life has to take its course.
Establish a routine that involves all family members and will allow you to prepare the house for a visit in a reasonable amount of time, 45 minutes for example. This requires some preparation, such as making beds in the morning, putting dishes in the dishwasher and hanging up clothes as you go. With these tasks already done, you’ll be ready for each visit more quickly and eliminate unnecessary stress when the time comes.
BEFORE EACH VISIT
Clean up every room and clear counters, floors, hallways and stairs. Organize or store newspapers, magazines, mail, toys, clothing, recreational items and dishes.
OPEN THE CURTAINS AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
Lights have the ability to brighten, widen and ventilate a room. Do what you can to create a bright atmosphere.
FRESH AIR
Install air fresheners in closets, bathrooms, toilets and kitchen. Kitchen odours are important. Fresh coffee or lemon odours have a long-lasting inviting effect.
MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC
If you don’t have the chance to bake an appetizing cake, soft background music would be just as enjoyable.
FOYER
A warm and pleasant fire can also give a magical effect.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
If the weather outside is hot and heavy, turn it on.
INVOLVE ALL THE SENSES OF YOUR VISITORS
Give your visitors a unique sensory experience (visual, auditory and olfactory) that is most enjoyable. The purchase of a good is initiated by emotions (crush) and then validated by a rational justification.
Apply yourself to creating favorable conditions during visits. This will result in a much faster sale.
