Tips For Accentuating Your Home |

1. Try to keep your home ready for a showing at all times. Keep your lawns mowed, shrubbery trimmed, garage doors closed, and your home well ventilated. Make any minor repairs necessary to show your home at its best; if you don’t wish to do it yourself, we can provide you with names of reputable firms who will give you free estimates at no obligation.
2. Do everything possible to show your home in an inviting and cheerful manner; such as, turning off the television sets and radios, turning on lights in dark areas, and opening all drapes and shades.
3. Let your Realtor know where you are and how you can be reached! If at all possible, please leave a key with us and if that is not possible, please let us know who else will have the keys to your home.
4. Whenever possible, we will call you before showing your property to a prospective buyer. Should a prospect be shown your home unexpectedly, don’t apologize for appearances; this only serves to accentuate them.
5. Unless you specifically prohibit it, other reputable real estate brokers will be showing your home during your absence without a member of our sales staff being present.
6. If at all possible, please absent yourself while we are showing your home, particularly when the property is being held open for the purpose of an “Open House.”
7. Your Realtor is equipped to effectively handle any questions or objections that a prospective buyer may have about your home, so please leave the selling to them.
8. Do tell your friends that your home is for sale and that Coconut Grove Realty is handling it. Any leads that come to your attention should be passed on to your Realtor.
9. Never try to sell your furniture to prospective buyers before the transaction is completed.
10. Please don’t discuss price, terms, or other negotiations with prospective buyers or Brokers. All contracts must be submitted to your Realtor and then submitted to you.
11. Your Realtor is required to submit all written offers to you and will be available to give you their suggestions and any recommendations they have. Experience has proven that the first offer is often the best.

These are just a few tips to help us sell your home. Some of the suggestions may not apply to your home, if not, disregard them. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Realtor.
