Hot Property: How to host a Stuart FL summer open house

Hot Property: How to host a Stuart FL summer open house

open-house

Summer, the most beautiful and most anticipated season of the year, has arrived! Surely this radiant, festive season is the perfect time to host a real estate open house in Stuart FL. Right? Right?

Well the fact is that, during the hottest months of the year, some folks actually prefer a ‘closed house’ to an open one. More specifically, they might prefer to stay home in the air conditioning, where it is nice and cool; or go to an indoor activity where they are guaranteed to be both comfortable and entertained, like a movie or a restaurant.

So how exactly do you draw people out into the hot weather elements to come see your ‘hot property’—most literally? Well here are a few suggestions that will render your summertime open house events the ‘hottest’—and, in a weird sort of way, also the coolest—happenings of the season.

1. Crank up the ac. Be certain that the air conditioning is activated and fully operational at your open house event, at all times. Guests will be more likely to linger in and look around a home that is temperate and comfortable at all times.

2. Crank up the fans. In rooms that may be difficult to cool, such as patios and garages, you may wish to activate ceiling fans or facilitate the placement of standalone fans that will serve to cool the area. Again, guests are more likely to spend time in areas that are cool and comfortable.

3. Offer cold drinks. Now we are by no means suggesting that you break out a keg and keep the cold beer flowing all throughout the day; remember that guests may very well be bringing their children to the open house, and will be driving home afterwards! It might be a good idea, though, to offer chilly liquid refreshments such as sparkly and flavored bottled waters, iced teas, punches, etc., to fortify—not to mention cool off—thirsty home buyers.

4. Offer tasty summertime snacks. Guests might really enjoy and appreciate a serving of sumptuous ice cream, a tangy popsicle or ice cream bar, fun sno-cones, etc. Aside from cooling off hot home buyers, the serving of these treats will greatly add to the party atmosphere of your open house.

5. Offer novelty hand fans as souvenirs to guests. And if these festive fans just happen to be inscribed with the address and contact number of your open house, then all the better!

Tips to Help Choose a Realtor

07.04.16 by

Realtor

The purchase of a new home ranks among the most pivotal decisions in the life of any individual; but this is not an experience that you have to undertake alone. By hiring a professional real estate agent, you can acquire an invaluable friend and partner in the home buying business.

Of course it is well worth noting that the process of choosing a Realtor can in itself be daunting and intimidating. Whenever you surf the Internet or flip through a phone book, open a newspaper or community magazine, take a peek up at the billboards that line your community roadways, or turn on a local television show, you no doubt will see countless advertisements advertising the services of Realtors and real estate agents. They all look friendly and professional, to be sure; but the question remains, which Realtor is just right for you?

Well while we can’t select your Realtor for you, we can give you some basic guidelines that will help you make an informed and ultimately beneficial choice for you.

1. Check their creds. As with any trained professional, a real estate agent should hold the licenses and certifications that well qualify them to do their job—and do it well.

2. Interview your Realtor. Just as you would interview any professional that you wish to undertake any major job for you—from your plumber to your house cleaner to your interior decorator—you may want to sit down with your prospective Realtor and question them about their credentials and experience, as well as their solid and concrete plan for selling your home.

3. Take your time. Unless you have an urgent and pressing need to sell your home as soon as possible, you probably want to take your time in choosing a Realtor. Search local newspapers or phone books and search the Internet to find a number of qualified candidates for the job; then conduct a thorough interview process that will—with any luck—net you the perfect Realtor for the job.

4. Get to know your Realtor. By both conducting prolonged conversations with and perusing the website of your chosen real estate agent, you can really get to know your Realtor. Read their blogs, have coffee with them, check out interviews they’ve done with newspapers and real estate trade publications. Make a friend of your Realtor!
