MARKET research shows that properties marketed through open home inspections have a very high ratio of inspection to sale, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).
REIQ managing director Dan Molloy said that a well presented property has a very high chance of selling.
``Also, the ongoing marketing activities that the selling agent organises to support the open inspection ensures your home has the best chance of selling within the prime selling time of 30 days,’’ Mr Molloy said.
A benefit of an open inspection during a set day and time is that vendors do not have to be in a constant state of readiness all day every day.
Since they know exactly when buyers will be viewing their home, they can be better prepared and more relaxed with the selling process.
Mr Molloy said vendors can sometimes cause more harm than good if they stay in their home during an inspection.
``Sellers can sometimes unintentionally risk losing a sale by trying to be helpful and appearing too eager to potential buyers,’’ Mr Molloy said.
Other tips for preparing an open home inspection include: placing all moveable valuables into a secure location; a clean-up inside and out; making small repairs such as oiling squeaky doors and replacing faulty light bulbs; and removing any excess furniture or items causing clutter.
