4 Ways To Make A Home Buyer Feel Emotionally Attached To A Home
Posted on: 25 July 2016
The best way to sell your home quickly is to get a home buyer to feel emotionally connected to the home. There are many ways to do this and often you will find that your home is more likely to sell close to the price you set it at, as well as quickly. Here are four ways to do this:
- Start With the Best Room in the House: Often the best place to start the tour of the house is in the family room where a potential home buyer is going to be able to envision their own family sitting and getting together. This is also the room where a majority of people spend their days, so it's going to have the most impact on them emotionally. Be sure that while in this room, you point out all the great qualities, such as the fireplace, the view of the backyard, the openness of the space, and more.
- Get Rid of Family Photos: A potential home buyer is going to feel less attached to the home if they see family photos of your own family in almost every room. This can distract them from envisioning their own family in the space. The best way to get them emotionally connected is to replace these family photos with mirrors or pieces of artwork that are calming and inviting.
- Don't Neglect the Backyard: Often, sellers will spend too much of their time focused on the appearance of the front yard. After all, curb appeal is important for drawing potential buyers in. However, when you neglect the backyard, it can still have a big impact. The backyard is a space where a potential buyer is going to want to envision their family spending time outside during the summer. If the backyard is unkept, it can be distracting and lead them to feeling disconnected to the home entirely.
- Create Focal Points: Every room should have a focal point. The focal point is the main piece of furniture in the room that the space is used for. For example, the bed would be the focal point in the bedrooms. The reason you want to do this is because it makes the space feel less cluttered. Be sure that you also pick out neutral colors that can appeal to everyone's tastes, as well.
When you know these four ways to make a home buyer feel emotionally attached to your home, you can be sure that you are more likely to sell quickly. Be sure to hire a real estate agent who can also give helpful tips and even help tour the space for you since they will have experience knowing what to point out and draw attention to.
