However, to do that, you must
provide potential buyers a striking home sales presentation that outshines other homes on the market. This requires creating a fantastic first impression, giving buyers an immediate feeling that they’re traveling up the front walkway of “their” new home for the first time, and not visiting someone else’s. Selling a house is about falling in love at first sight, from the curb, in those initial (and fleeting) seconds. As I said before, here’s the big news — everybody doesn’t get the price they could when selling their home. For example, take two little ranch houses across from a well- kept cemetery in a nice suburban city near Cincinnati, in Southwest Ohio. One of them, 25 Cemetery Road (3 beds, 1 bath, 936 sq. ft., built 1957) was described as: “Neat as a pin and ready to go. Complete remodel kitchen w/SS appliances, breakfast bar, flattop stove, beautiful tile. Complete bath remodel. Hardwood floors, replaced windows. Great fenced yard, covered rear patio.” It was being fought over at $124,000+.
