Viewings are booked in, now what?
First impressions really matter! Once your potential buyers have seen the beautiful photographs and videos they’ll be desperate to see it in person. So, make sure that when they arrive the first impression is a good one! Check that your exterior is clean, tidy, and welcoming, despite the colder weather. Add simple touches like a festive wreath on the door, clear away anything in the way, and ensure well-maintained lighting is available for the darker afternoon/evening viewings – all of this can make a great first impression, even before buyers step inside.
Create a cosy experience inside
Winter offers a unique chance to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere for viewings. Consider subtle details like warm lighting, a lit fireplace, or even a gentle seasonal scent to set the mood. These small touches can help potential buyers feel comfortable and visualise themselves living in the space during the colder months.
