    Filed under: Seller Tips — Tags: — Heather @ November 15th, 2011

    So you have made all of the necessary repairs to your Colorado Springs homes for sale, you have staged it and are ready to put your home on the market. What is next? You have to keep in mind that buyers can make split second decisions when looking at Colorado Springs homes for sale. They make these decisions quickly for several reasons. The first is a sensory response. The second could be based on their subconscious. The sensory response is what we will be addressing here. Because you are appealing to their senses it is very important to have buyers of Colorado Springs homes for sale get a good feeling when they come in your home and feel that they have gotten a good sense of it.

    You want to have your home appeal to buyers’ senses. You want them to like the way it looks, feels, sounds and smells. You can have some soft background music playing when your home is being shown. This will not only be pleasant for the potential buyers but will also help to drown out traffic and other neighborhood sounds. Having a fountain in the back yard and having wind chimes hung up effectively serve the same purpose. It will make the buyer of Colorado Springs homes for sale have a more pleasant experience.

    You can appeal to potential buyer’s sense of touch in several ways. Leaving ceiling fans on can be one idea. Another may is to make couches and beds look more cozy by adding pillows and soft looking throw blankets. You want them to come in thinking that live the way your Colorado Springs homes for sale “feels”.

    Sense of smell can be one of the most important factors when selling your home. This is because it triggers a psychological reaction inside of ones brain. It can trigger lots of different memories. You have to think about how every room in your home smells. Lots of people find that during hotter months citrus smells are preferred. All this means is maybe squeezing an orange or a lemon in the kitchen sink and then wiping it out. This natural way of scenting your home is much preferred to spraying chemical sprays around that have a funky after smell and that potential buyers of your Colorado Springs homes for sale may even be allergic to. During the colder winter months fire up your oven. Baking smells can be wonderful. Home made cookies or fresh baked bread smells are great. You can buy premade cookies or rolls and simply pop one or two in the oven before a showing. Not enough time to bake? Simply simmer mulling spices or cinnamon sticks in a sauce pan on the stove for a few moments. Keep your buyers in mind when you are cooking and try to avoid making things like fish or something with a lot of garlic if you will be showing your Colorado Springs homes for sale the next day.

    Cigarette smoke is a huge deal when selling your Colorado Springs homes for sale. When a buyer walks in and smells smoke you have an immediate price issue. They are automatically thinking that will have to pay to replace the carpet and repaint the home to get rid of the smell. They will think about this even if they themselves happen to be smokers. It can cost you up to five percent of your homes value if it smells like smoke.
