Among the services provided by listing agents is the marketing and showing of the property. As a homeowner in the midst of selling, you may wonder if there are ways to support your Realtor as they introduce the property to prospective buyers. Realtor Carollen Speer offers some suggestions:
“It is important for the homeowner(s) to have their hand in the preparation process of listing their home; the process is most successful if we work as a team. I collaborate with the seller(s), often suggesting things like, touching up paint, decluttering and tidying, hanging a new wreath or filling flower pots to get the home ‘show ready.’ I love asking sellers what their favorite room or feature of the home is and include this in my marketing, as well as during conversations with buyers and their agents. There is nothing more appealing to buyers than a home that truly showcases pride in ownership. Selling a home carries many waves of emotions. We grow attached to our homes, and being a part of the process from start to finish can best prepare the you for their next chapter.”
