• Children should be off-site during showings, if possible • Pets should be crated, removed, or out of sight • Remove pet odors, toys, litter boxes, and fur from furniture • Dishes should be done, and countertops cleared First impressions matter, and a clean, quiet space helps buyers focus on the home—not its occupants. Dealing with Buyer Traffic The more buyers who see your home, the greater your chances of selling—but not all visitors are serious. Many agents show dozens of homes to clients with no clear purchasing plan. While some showings are productive, others may be time-consuming with little return. That’s why strategic marketing, pre-qualification, and experienced guidance matter. By filtering out low-interest visitors and focusing on truly motivated buyers, your time and energy are preserved for the showings that matter most. Key Takeaway: Preparation Drives Results Selling your home for the best possible price, in the shortest amount of time, starts with preparation, positioning, and partnering with the right professionals. A properly priced, beautifully presented home creates instant interest and emotional connection. In the next chapter, we’ll dive deeper into how to prepare your home for sale—what to fix, what to feature, and what to avoid—so you can stand out from the competition and attract serious buyers from the start.
