As a homeowner, we always want to put our best foot forward when preparing to sell our home. It is my job to collect and research all information and details about your home before listing it. But to help leave a lasting impression here is a little tip that homeowners can prepare to create a lasting memory on potential buyers…
Add a handwritten or typed note, offering the potential home buyers a welcoming feeling into your home and the neighbourhood. This note could include a little about your neighbours, your favorite parks close by, favorite features of the home, pictures of the home in the opposite season, etc. Basically, a short and sweet welcoming message to help paint the more personal side of purchasing a home.
You could even go a step further and focus on the finer details it should only take you a few minutes but have a huge impact! Things you could include in a more detailed piece:
- Parks & paths
- Favourite pizza or burger spots
- Best date night restaurants nearby
- Recreational activities in your neighbourhood
- Pet-friendly areas
- Local annual events – be sure not to miss these!
- Fun places to explore when family & friends come to visit
- Places of worship
- Garbage & recycle day pickups
- Home services you may use (snow removal, cleaner etc.)
- Babysitter
- Neighbours to the left & right (list their first names)
Relocating to a new neighbourhood can be overwhelming (especially if moving from outside of Guelph), so providing a welcoming note will paint a picture that they are already part of the community.
