Top 5 Keys to Increase Buyer Traffic to Your Home for Sale

Top 5 Keys to Increase Buyer Traffic to Your Home for Sale

If you are selling your home, you want to attract as many potential buyers of Del Prado Pleasanton homes for sale as possible. The more buyers that have interest in your home, the more likely someone will submit an offer. How can you convince prospective buyers to visit, and fall in love with your property? Here are a number of ways that you can do attract potential buyers to your home.

1. Boost the exterior appeal of your home

One sure way of attracting buyers is by improving your home’s curb appeal. To do this, get in your car, drive around the block, and take an objective look at your home. Check how the driveway looks. Make sure your landscaping, including all trees, plants, and shrubs are attractively maintained. Does the exterior of your house appeal to you? Remember that prospective home buyers may have been shopping around for Del Prado Pleasanton real estate for sale for quite some time. They have already seen several properties so you need to give them fresh impression of your home. 

2. Make necessary repairs

If there are minor problems with your home it is better to have them fixed as earlier as possible. Don’t wait until prospective buyers are already in your door. Since you are probably going to spend on repairs before your close your home, you might as well do it in time to boost the appeal of your home. Get rid of leaky faucets, a cracked windowpane, or a carpet stain. If you start taking care of repairs now, you will sell sooner and avoid the expense of last-minute rush jobs. 

3. Add incentives

Another way to generate a lot of interest to your home is by adding incentives. These incentives can make a difference in your home sale. Consider throwing in popular incentives like a home theater system, a pool table or new flooring. Just remember to properly include all of your upgrades on the seller disclosures.

4. Make your home an easy show

Avoid being too restrictive on viewing times. Keep in mind that the more time available for the agent to show the home, the larger number of potential home buyers can see your property. Also remember to have a key available for your trusted real estate agent. This way, your agent can still have access to your home even when you are not there or are unavailable. 

5. Make buyers feel at home

If you want to make a lasting impression on buyers of homes for sale in Del Prado Pleasanton, make sure to stage areas that you want to highlight within your home. Consider having an attractive place settings and a centerpiece on the dining room table. You may also place a reading light next to an armchair or display fruit or jars on the kitchen counter along with an open cookbook. If you want to appeal to the buyer’s sense of smell, try offering freshly baked treats and placing firewood or pinecones in or next to the fireplace.
