Want to Sell Your Home Faster? Make it Anonymous!
What do you notice when you visit a model home in a new
development? Often, you’ll find wonderfully furnished and
decorated rooms that anyone could live in.
The operative word here is “anyone”.
Sure, there might be a computer screen on a desk in the den, or
a child’s Raggedy Ann doll sitting in a corner, but for the most
part, all the rooms are anonymous. There is a sense of family,
but no specific family… the feeling of personality, but no
specific person.
The professionalswho set up amodel homemake it anonymous
for a reason.They want buyers to view it as their potential home,
not someone else’s. And these professionals know — based on
decades of experience — that this strategy helps sell houses
faster and for a better price.
Why not use this same strategy when showing your house
or condo?
It’s easy. Just put away that soccer trophy, take down the
wedding photo, and box those souvenirs from the family
vacation at Disneyland.No, you don’t have to completely empty
your closets and drawers. Just pack those personal items that
can be seen when a potential buyer views a room. Put away
toothbrushes, collectibles, even unopened mail. Don’t forget
the fridge door, which is often a mosaic of personal items in
most family homes.
If you have lots of personal items, consider renting a storage unit
for the few weeks that your house or condo will be on the
market. It’s worth the investment.
You wouldn’t think of buying a birthday cake with a stranger’s
name on it. The same holds true when you show your house or
condo.Make it anonymous!
