SOOTHE THE SENSES WHEN SHOWING YOUR HOME

SOOTHE THE SENSES WHEN SHOWING YOUR HOME

Selling a beautiful home is an art in itself. When preparing to show a home that is elegantly designed, tastefully furnished and perfectly maintained, how can you achieve an aesthetic advantage over other, equally remarkable homes?

The secret is to create a positive emotional impact by appealing to the senses with subtle touches. Please the eye of the beholder by maximizing the brightness in every room.

Open all curtains and turn on every lighting fixture in the house. Vases of brilliantly colored flowers provide visual stimulation in neutral areas, and healthy potted plants or trees will enliven the look of any room.

Next consider the sense of smell. Sometimes traces of mold will linger in older homes, and pet odors that go unnoticed by fond owners can offend buyers who don't keep pets. Freshen each room with a natural spray or a scented candle to create a pleasant environment.

Before your REALTOR® arrives with the potential buyer, turn off every noise-making device in the home and program your music system to play soft classical or instrumental music. Your home will be a feast for the senses.

TIPS FOR FINDING GREAT TENANTS

Locating and keeping good tenants is crucial when you buy an investment property, so a little caution during the screening process can save you a lot of headaches later on.

Intuition plays a role in a landlord's decision‑making process but it is very important to follow up on your intuition by checking on the facts. Ask your local REALTOR® to have prospective tenants fill out an application that includes both employment and personal references as well as the name, address and phone numbers of previous landlords. The application should also include written permission for you to run a credit check, if the prospects have not already provided a current one.

In most areas it is difficult and expensive to evict someone who turns out to be less than a model tenant, so it is wise to conduct a thorough check of references and credit history. You should always work with a licensed REALTOR® who possesses a solid reputation for screening tenants as well as a familiarity of contracts for your protection.

Once you have found your new tenant, review all documentation and property requirements together before they take occupancy to ensure that you have no miscommunications down the road.
