Top Tips To Ensure That Offers Are Made By Hosting The Best Viewings On Your Property🏡✨

Selling your home is a thrilling journey. While you are dreaming about your next home and crunching numbers, there's a vital step that’s often underestimated: hosting property viewings.

Now, some estate agents might handle viewings on your behalf. You might enjoy a coffee ☕ while they do the showcasing. 

But what if you're the one presenting your home? 
Here’s how to leave a lasting impression and nudge viewers towards making an offer.

Remember, buying a home is more heart ❤️ than head 🧠.
It's about emotions, feelings, and imagining one's life in a new space.
So, how can you set the scene for that instant connection?

Tips from the Pros:


1. Warm Welcome: Viewing properties can be daunting. Extend a warm, friendly greeting 🤝 to put them at ease. Remember, you might feel a bit vulnerable too, showcasing your cherished space.

2. Begin at the Beginning: Use the main entrance 🚪 for viewings, even if you often use a side or back door. It helps the viewer navigate naturally.

3. Be Ready and Waiting: Make your home viewer-ready well in advance ⏳. No last-minute hoovering or frantic tidying. Welcome them promptly to avoid doorstep waiting.

4. Less is More: While you might be tempted to fill silences with chit-chat, allow viewers the space to reflect 🤔 and imagine their life in your home.

5. End on a High: Conclude the viewing in your home's pièce de résistance, whether it's a sunny garden nook 🌻 or a snug living room with a roaring fire 🔥.

6. Give Them Space: After the guided tour, let them explore alone (if you're comfortable). It allows them a candid conversation 🤫 and a chance to visualise.

7. Invite a Return: As they depart, reassure them that a second viewing or queries are always welcome.

8. Keep It Professional: Avoid swapping personal contact details 🚫📱. Any further discussions or negotiations should be through the estate agent to achieve the best possible price for you.

Selling your home isn't just about its bricks and features; it’s about the experience and memories you help potential buyers envision. 
So, step into their shoes 👟, and make it a viewing to remember.

Most landlords don’t review their property until something goes wrong. But the strongest portfolios are built through regular check-ins, not reactive fixes. December is the perfect time to step back, assess performance and make small changes now that protect returns, reduce stress and set the year ahead up properly.
