Sellers play an important role in making sure their home is presented in its best light so that buyers fall in love with it from the moment they walk through the front door. Making your Jersey City condo appealing is not difficult, nor is it costly.
Firstly, make sure your house is clean and odor-free before all showings; this includes food odors. Next, remove all cats and dogs or confine them to one area of the house. Open drapes and blinds, and turn on all lights so that buyers can see the house. Play quiet, soft music in the background. Turn off all television sets. Place a bowl of fresh flowers on the dining table, and if it is winter, light the fireplace.
Try not to be present for showings, but if you must be there, stay in one area of the house when it is being shown. Finally, let your Realtor answer any questions about the house; this is one of the reasons you hired them.
