Why Your Home Over Other Homes?

Experienced real estate agents tell us that, once the basic requirements have been met, choosing a home becomes an emotional decision for many buyers. They may weigh the pros and cons carefully, but in the end they'll often choose the one that "feels" right.

So how do you make your house feel like the perfect home? The trick is to communicate subconsciously by appealing to the five senses.

Your Home

Tips

  • Greet your visitors with the scent of fresh flowers or the aroma of freshly-baked bread or cookies
  • Have pleasant music playing softly in the background
  • Give the impression of spaciousness and airiness – remove bulky furniture, open the curtains, turn on extra lights
  • Display colour photos of outdoor views during different seasons near the front and back doors
  • Add warmth whenever possible – light a fire, turn on lamps rather than overhead lights, close curtains at night
  • See to your guests' comfort – prepare a spot for coats and footwear
