Portsmouth NH Real Estate - Tips for Winter Weather Showings

Portsmouth New Hampshire homeowners work hard to get their homes ready for showings, and they know what we've been dealing with this winter for weather, and yes, it's snowing yet AGAIN here today!


Snow-Covered Backyard - Portsmouth NH
Portsmouth New Hampshire homeowners work hard to get their homes ready for showings, and they know what we’ve been dealing with this winter for weather, and yes, it’s snowing yet AGAIN here today!

If you have your home or condo on the market for sale, you’re faced with the challenges of dealing with snow, ice and slushy messes while trying to keep your floors clean for showings.  It’s certainly not easy, that’s for sure!

 

Here are some quick and easy tips to help keep the messes outside and not inside on your floors:

  • Keep walkways, steps, patios, decks and driveways clear of snow and ice - this takes some work, but it does 2 major things for you, 1) it helps to keep the winter messiness out of your house because there’s nothing to track in, and 2) it helps to decrease your liability because there will be fewer slips and falls if driveways and walkways are kept clear.

Portsmouth Sellers - How is YOUR Property Being Represented?

Here in my area of Portsmouth and the Seacoast of New Hampshire and southern Maine, we still show our own listings 80-90% of the time. I know there are many parts of the country that don't do assisted or accompanied showings. Most of us still consider that part of our job.

Here in my areas of Portsmouth and the Seacoast towns of New Hampshire and southern Maine, we still show our own listings about 80-90% of the time.  


We know there are many parts of the country that don't do assisted or accompanied  showings, but most of us that work in this area still consider that part of our job for our seller-clients.

 

 

Some time ago, I was showing property to a new set of buyer clients - a wonderful young couple who will be buying their first home here in Portsmouth NH.  We had exchanged phone calls, had our buyer counselling appointment, and then met to sign the Buyer Agency Contract before heading out for our first showings.  They had been well-prepared for the home-buying process, showings, etc.

We showed up at our very first showing, and the listing agent was already there.  She greeted us and invited us into the house.  Then she just stood there looking at us, which was exceedingly uncomfortable.  I took it upon myself to ask her if she wanted to show us through the house or should we just go through on our own.  She told us to go through on our own.

Selling a Home in the Portsmouth NH and Maine Areas

When it comes to selling a home in the Portsmouth NH area, the role of the REALTOR is many times viewed too simplistically - that of being a matchmaker with a buyer and a home. In reality, the process is often very complex and time-consuming, and requires the use of many specialized skills and services to bring about a successful sale.

For my clients in the Seacoast areas of NH and southern Maine, I have developed and refined a Comprehensive Marketing Plan that is customized for each individual property I market.  My goal is your goal--to get you the highest price in the shortest time possible with the best terms, and with the least inconvenience to you.
