Your potential home buyers should be treated as house guests for their appointment times.  Treating your buyers showings like having a short visit from a family member or friend will help you prepare your home for the appointment when selling your home in New Port Richey Florida.  This idea was given to me by one of my customers who consistently received feedback that said the house was clean, well maintained and inviting. I asked Mrs. Seller if she cleaned every time there was an appointment and this was her response.  "The time my home was on the market I kept it in my mind that we had out of town guests coming. This way I was always ready for the call for an appointment and the house looked nice" Another way this home showed well was that the sellers would leave the home for every sh... 03/20/2014
