#8 - Lights, etc.
Buyers dwell on little things. Have you ever noticed that? Many times during a showing buyers get hung up on the nit-pickiest detail. We need to eliminate distractions for buyers by paying attention to detail before the first showing.
The following is a list of "little things" that most often produce distractions for buyers. Frankly, even before reading this list, think about it, not having these things taken care of can be such a royal pain. They're easy to fix, so get it done on the front-end.
- Interior Lightbulbs - 'nothing worse than asking a prospective buyer to imagine what is in that dark room. Even more, the space you are leasing may have a great lobby but if the overhead lights are burnt out you've missed a great opportunity.
- Exterior Lightbulbs - Especially for showings in the evening, burnt-out exterior lighting is VERY noticeable and should be addressed.
- Locks & Doors - Make sure you arrive to the showing early to avoid the embarrassing situation of flailing about with a 10 lb. wad of keys. Open all doors to rooms you will be showing.
These "little things" will allow you to stay focused on the business points of the transaction and keeping your buyer on-track.
