about the surrounding area and what living there entails before you have any showings. Knowing the crime rate for the city and your area specifically is also ideal. Not all buyers ask about the crime rate for a potential buy, but quite a few do. Be Enthusiastic How are buyers supposed to be enthusiastic about buying your home if you aren’t enthusiastic about selling it? Simple: they won’t be. Offer a warm smile and a greeting as soon as you open the door. Ask them if they’d like to wander around themselves or if they’d rather you guide them around. Positive energy is incredibly contagious, so keep your spirits high and you should have no problem making a sale. If your attitude sucks, so will your odds of making a sale. Stay Safe and Be Ready for Anything Always remember to have someone with you when you show your home, keep your guard up, ensure that your house is clean and ready to go the day of, and always keep a positive attitude. Show buyers examples of what they will generally have to pay for utilities, be informed
