Open Houses in the Calgary Real Estate Market.

Realtors in the Calgary Real Estate market use the tool of doing "Open House" for seller properties for a variety of reasons. The least of which should be to sell the property.

I believe that the Open House was designed specifically to sell the house. The sellers in the Calgary Real Estate Market allow you to open the house to the public so that they can come in and have a look at it specifically for the purposes of selling the house. So when you are buying and previewing open houses in the neighborhoods you'd like to move to don't be surprised by the agent sitting in the Open House to try and sell you on the house. That's their job. That's the purpose of the Open House.

In the Calgary Real Estate Market the open house is held on the weekends. Sometimes you'll see an open house around the supper hour on weekdays but typically it is on the weekend in the afternoon. That is the time that most people expect to see an open house.

If you want to have a successful Open House in the Calgary Real Estate market you might want to consider the following tips:

1. De-Clutter

There are so many houses in the Calgary Real Estate Market today that have WAY too much furniture. Pack some of that stuff away and store it off site. Check my blog on Temporary Storage in the Calgary Real Estate market. The best way to think about it is to think that every time you remove 1 box or 1 piece of furniture from your house you're putting $100 in your pocket.

2. Clean Clean and more Clean

I'm not talking about just vacuum, dust and put some dirty clothes away. I'm talking about steam clean the carpets, vacuum the upholstery and clean those hard to get places like cupboards, top of the fridge or under the sink. There should be no dust or cobwebs anywhere to be seen or not seen. Again the Calgary Real Estate Market is full of houses that are DIRTY. I sometimes don't even want to take my shoes off when I'm showing those houses.

3. Repairs.

Somethings just need to be fixed. Leaky faucet - Fix it! Toilet that doesn't stop running - Fix it! Think of it as if you were moving in. What would you think if those things weren't fixed? Would you pay top dollar for something that has tons of little things to be fixed?

4. Make it look good!

Cut the lawn. Remove the leaves. Make it welcoming from the moment the potential buyers drive up to the house.

5. If you can Smell it - you can't sell it!

Get rid of the things that smell. Don't try to douse the smells with perfume or air fresheners. People can smell right through that. Find the problem and eliminate it. Pets, Smoking, Mold and Mildew are all things that can be resolved.

These things should help you sell your property during that open house in the Calgary Real Estate market.
