Joining me for the podcast today is the commercial real estate manager at Weichert Realtors at the Rockies, Greg Hales, good morning. Greg Hales: Good morning Patrick. Patrick Wiscombe: Greg, let's get right into this. What do people need to do to get their house ready and presentable for those who want to buy it? Greg Hales: The first and most obvious is to hire a professional. Realtors see homes every day, they sell them everyday, they see the things that will help sell your home and then ask their opinion and listen to their opinion. As you prepare to move those things or change things in your home to make it sell-able, they're an invaluable tool to use. Patrick Wiscombe: Let's go over what needs to be done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR CALL TO ACTION If you're looking to buy or sell a house in Utah, please call or text me (Patrick Wiscombe) at (801) 602-5850. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Hales: I think the first thing you need to understand is that a buyer is buying your house. They're not buying your home. You've made it your home by your knick knacks, your decorations, those things that are personal to you. I know this may sound difficult to you at times, but some of those things need to be removed. The things that hang all over your refrigerator, the knick knacks on the wall, those things that have made it your home and your personal home, the things that the buyer isn't attached to. They're trying to buy your house and they will make it their home. The other thing is that to make is sell-able, look at it from an outsiders eye. Are things neat and tidy? Are the corners uncluttered?
