This is a marketing tool.  Most Buyers want to make informed decisions.  They depend upon their agent to give them price comparisons and neighbourhood knowledge.  What Sellers and their agents should consider is how to supplement that knowledge with anything they know about the house and the neighbourhood.  Create a binder that you, the Seller, can leave on the kitchen or dining room table for Buyers to view.  What would you put in this binder? A copy of the listing Photos of the house that are not on the listing A copy of the Survey A copy of the Seller Property Information Statement Copies of water tests (if rural) A copy of the tax bill OR a page with information on the cost of taxes and all utilities. A copy of the house inspection (if you had one done prior to listing) A copy of a...

I was recently doing a walk through on a potential listing.  The owners had a wonderful collection of little statues in a specific theme.  These were located on coffee tables, end tables in the living and family rooms and on the shelf in the kitchen.  I thought they were delightful but was worried on the owners' behalf that these would be too tempting for visitors, especially when those with children in tow.    In trying to convince the owners to pack these and all little ornaments and souvenirs, I said "Don't leave anything out and available that could fit in a purse or pocket."  It is not that the people house hunting are thieves.  In fact, so few things are stolen that one forgets that this could happen.  But.....  there is always a first time and no home owner wants this to happen ...

Buyers use all of their senses when searching for their new homes.  'Looking' at homes goes way beyond sight.  Appeal to all five of the buyers' senses.  Each sense provides input to the Buyers' perceptions of your home.  Your home is enhanced by leaving an Ipod, satellite radio or CDs playing.  Pick background music.  You don't want the Buyers to stop to try to remember the tune and the words.  Who cares?  I like almost anything done by the Marsalis family, Ottmar Lieber, Kenny G, or any light classical/ instrumental music. I would stay away from those spa CDs that have rain forest sounds or tropic birds chirping or wind blowing.  Look for something smooth and mellow.  When selling a home this summer, the owner included his built in music system. (Of course, how could he take it with ...

If your yard is covered by 3 feet of snow, how can a buyer know what it looks like?  Draw a plan of the yard with the location and names of as many of the trees and perennials as you can remember.  Did you ever have the green house draw up a plan of the yard or a landscape architect come in and do the work?  Having these plans will add incredible interest in your property.  Having the contract and receipts if further validation for the professional work done.  If you are planning to sell next year, make sure that you take some photos of your yard with things in bloom and the lawn cut.  I once showed a house to a client where the Seller found photos from a big family picnic and left these on the dining table to show off the yard.  Well, the yard of course was barely visible, the photos ...
