When you’re selling your Lake Forest, Illinois, home, you want to impress potential buyers from the second they pull up to see your house. Take the extra time to make sure every aspect of your home is inviting, clean, and comfortable for them.
Make Buyers Comfortable
You want your prospective purchasers to feel at home during the showing. Pay particular attention to the temperature and humidity levels in your home. Set your thermostat one or two degrees colder or warmer than what’s typical. If it’s a hot day, people should feel refreshed when they walk into your house. Use a dehumidifier in the basement if it’s susceptible to excess water, and pay attention that the home doesn’t feel too humid especially in the summer.
Don’t Neglect The Landscaping
You might not pay attention to the front of the house if you enter through the garage. Areas like your outdoor unit or the side of the house might need some TLC as well. Spend some time sprucing up the landscaping of your home. Potential buyers will likely walk in through the front door, so you want the front of the house to be inviting and manicured. Make sure your outdoor HVAC unit is free from debris as well.
Keep It Spotless
It’s hard if you have kids or pets to keep your house clean and ready for a showing. Unfortunately, it needs to be ready at a moment’s notice if someone wants to stop by. You don’t want to lose a sale by not being flexible. Make sure your house is spotless, vacuumed, and dusted before any showing. If possible keep pets that shed at a friend’s or family member’s home during the selling process.
