Best Practices When Showing Your Home To Buyers

Selling your home without a real estate agent means you’ll be handling all aspects of marketing, showing, and selling the property on your own.

While each of these tasks has its challenges, let’s focus on the specifics of showing your home.

At Momentum Offers, we have extensive experience buying and selling homes in Jacksonville, and we’re always eager to share our expertise with local buyers and sellers.

If you’re opting for the FSBO (For Sale By Owner) approach, here are some tips to help you showcase your home effectively:

Depersonalize & Declutter — Buyers need to visualize themselves living in your home. If the space is cluttered or filled with your personal items, it can be challenging for them to do so. Make sure to depersonalize and declutter before any showings.

Curb Appeal — First impressions matter. The first view potential buyers will have of your property is from the curb. Ensure the lawn is trimmed and the exterior is clean and tidy.

Take Your Time — There’s no need to rush when showing your home. Move at the buyer’s pace, answer their questions, offer refreshments like iced tea or coffee, and let them explore the property comfortably.

Give Buyers Space — Hovering too close during the entire showing can make buyers uncomfortable. It’s a good idea to step away for a few minutes, allowing them to discuss the property freely without feeling pressured.

We hope these tips are helpful!
