Preparing Your Home for Sale: Make Repairs

Are you planning to put your home on the market? Review these tips for making necessary repairs, and you will achieve a quicker sale and optimum price.

Before a buyer considers your home seriously, it must meet his needs in a variety of ways. It must be a suitable commuting distance, neighborhood, design style, floor plan, size, number of bedrooms, etc. If all or most of these needs are met, the buyer will begin to move in the direction of making a purchase decision. The purchase decision is a both an emotional and intellectual response, founded on a level of trust in your home. So, it is logical that in marketing your home your goal should be to enable the buyer to build trust in your home as quickly as possible. One way to do this is to address both surface and hidden repair issues before putting your home on the market. A few small clues, such as torn carpet or leaky faucet, will create a feeling that your house is not well cared for. Once the buyer has spotted a few defects, he will be on the lookout for more. If the finishes in your home are in good condition, buyers will assume that the mechanical and structural systems are well maintained also.

Read Customers Better Using Proven Sales Techniques

Recently, I had a salesperson come into my office to try to sell me a service. He came in, sat down and asked me two questions: what I do and how I think the business is running. He then immediately launched into his sales speech. I sat back and listened as he made a classic selling mistake.

I had no need for his product, but he was intent on selling to me. He had an “I have to sell” mentality. This is oftentimes where salespeople go wrong. If you have to sell, don’t you think it would make the most sense to sell to people who have a need for your product or service? It is important that during any sales call we operate with a needs based selling mentality. People will only buy what they need; so, ask questions and listen to your customer. Find out if they are in the market for your product, and if they are not, then move on because you don’t want to waste your time (or theirs) if you could be out making a sale to someone who is willing to make a purchase.

In order to be a great salesperson, we need to look at all the signs coming from a potential client. This entails both nonverbal and verbal communication. During the sale, watch the body language of your customer. Are they sitting forward in their chair and engaged or are they leaned back with a look of boredom? Do they use active hand gestures or are they fidgeting? What type of tone do they have when they speak? All these forms of communication can help you quickly deduce whether or not the customer is interested in your product.
