Sounds of home - turn on some soft music, not too laud. Privacy for the buyers - Send the kids outside. Have only one adult give the tour and leave some space for the buyers to make comments out of ear shot. Marketing Even if you home looks like a model home, it won't sell if the buyers don't see it. You have to let the world know you are selling your home.
Exposure is the key.
Price - Make sure you have the right price. Too high and no one will look at it or they will be wasting your time or you will have difficulty getting the appraisal passed. Too low and you are throwing money away. A thorough market evaluation will tell you where your price needs to be. Make sure your number is readable.
