Tips for Evening OpenHouse Inspections

If you are looking to sell your home but you just don’t have the time to show it to potential buyers during the day, this article can help you out! While every agent will tell you that the best time to show your home is when the sun is shining above, not every seller has the time or the opportunity to do this. Sometimes, a seller only has time to show their home at night.

How to Show Your Home During the Evening and at Night

If you are looking to sell your home and find yourself in the position of not being able to show your home during the day, below are some helpful tips from Advanced Title Company which can help you show your home in its best light during evening and night time inspections.

It Starts with Your Front Lawn

During day inspections your front yard is the first aspect of your home that potential buyers will see. And night time showings are no exception, you just have to work a little harder to make a positive impression. Start with spotlights at the base of any large trees you have aimed upwards. This works to give your front yard and your entire home a more regal and grand feel. If you have any large shrubs and small solar-powered spots hidden at the base is a great way to light these up and add a magical feel to your garden. Similarly, if you have a garden bed or even just a garden area, be sure to use solar-powered spots for these areas too to show their color. If your front yard includes any paths to your home or even a walkway through your garden, small outdoor rope lighting can be a great way to not only make these walkways safe but add a nice image to your home and its appeal.

Front Porch

If your home includes a front porch then it’s important that this is well lit. Why? Because a dark porch can be uninviting and turn off potential buyers before they have even stepped inside your home. Simple outdoor rope lighting along the banister or even a few fake candles is all takes to improve the perception of your home through the porch whilst also adding some safety to visitors arriving at night. If your buyers are smart then they will be taking out a thorough title insurance policy. Title insurance in Clifton is the easiest way for buyers to protect their title ownership and avoid financial issues.

Don’t Let Shadows Minimize Your Space

While you may not notice it during your daily (or nightly) life, shadows in the corners of your room can make your room and entire home appear smaller than it is. Of course, this isn’t a problem when you live in the hoes but then you are trying to sell it, it can make visitors feel that your home is smaller than they are looking for, especially in comparison to other homes, and work as a turn-off. A few standing lamps placed strategically around your home is a great way to remove these shadows and show to your buyers the full size of each room. Of course, those don’t have to be plain standing lamps, you can utilize smaller lamps on tables which can also add a stylish flair to each room.

On to the Backyard

Once your visitors have inspected your home they will want to see your backyard offerings. It doesn’t matter if your backyard is small or large, be sure that they can see and inspect it all safely. Simple flood lights are a great idea to not only add light to your backyard but also add safety, allowing buyers to inspect your backyard to ensure that it meets your needs. Similar to the tips mentioned above regarding your front garden, if there are any large trees then be sure to light these from the bottom and show off any garden beds you may have.

Candles

It can be tempting to use candles throughout your home because they traditionally can add a romantic feel to a room. However, not only are they dangerous to leave unattended but too many paced around your home can actually make it look gloomy and almost give it a haunted feeling. If you are looking to add romance to a room, look at using fake candles which you can either dim or change the color. These are both effective and safer to use.
