1. First Impressions Are Everything

Before buyers ever step inside, they’ll see your home’s curb appeal—and just like showing up to a party, if it doesn’t feel inviting, they might not come in. Tidy landscaping, a clean walkway, and a fresh welcome mat can make all the difference.

2. Clean Like You’re Expecting Your In-Laws

You don’t need to deep-clean your attic, but you do want every room to sparkle. Buyers notice everything. Think: hotel-level clean with a dash of “I could see myself living here.”

3. Create an Experience, Not Just a Showing

Lighting, scent, temperature—all of it matters. Open the blinds. Light a subtle candle. Keep the home warm in winter or cool in summer. You’re not just showing a home—you’re setting a vibe.

4. Don’t Linger—Let the Guests Enjoy

Just like no one wants the host hovering at their shoulder all night, buyers need space. Leave during showings so they can explore freely (and picture themselves living there).

5. A Great Host Knows When to Call in Help

Just like party planners make events seamless, Fee Simple Realty helps you sell stress-free. We handle pricing, marketing, paperwork, and strategy—all for just 1% listing commission.
