First Impressions Matter - Karen MacDonald - Hamre Real Estate Team RE/MAX Affiliates Ottawa

❓Here's a question for you: How important are first impressions?

My name is Karen MacDonald from the Hamre Real Estate Team RE/MAX Affiliates and Ottawa.

And how important are those first impressions?

We have first impressions and everything we do from the people we meet, to the cars we're going to buy to the outfits we're going to wear.

And it's the same when it comes to the house you're going to buy.

✈️ I had a buyer in from out of town, just last week.

➡️ They had selected four homes to look at.

I threw one in there just, because I thought, yeah, this one looks nice.

And we went to see the other three or the other four.

And then we went to see the one that I had thrown in and right away, as soon as we got out of our cars, the smiles came on their face and the first thing he pointed out.

Was how clean the driveway was and the walkway as well.

There's no weeds, no snow.

☀️ Everything was clear.

The front door popped not just in colour, but it was clean.

⭐It was fresh.

So before we even went in the home, they knew that it was well taken care of.

And I knew that this was going to be the home that they were going to buy it and sure enough, ❤️ they loved it.

✉️We went in with a pre-emptive offer.

We were able to secure the property and they are thrilled and it just goes to show how important that first impression is.

So to sellers, just make sure that front walkway welcoming for those buyers.

Just keep that in mind that the buyers are 80% of the time are going to make the decision.

Right at the front door.
