We appreciate that sometimes it can be exciting to sell your house, other times it can be a wrench to move from a home that may have been lived in by your family for many years. Whatever your circumstances we hope that Falcon Fine can help to make it all run as smoothly as possible, from sale to completion.
It is important to remember to prepare for the viewings to begin quickly after you have chosen Falcon as your agent. Viewings sell houses; the more viewings you get the more chance you have of selling, and often our Fine Homes are viewed by many people in quick succession.
Here are a few tips to help.
Prepare well for viewings, and accept everyone who wants to see it, even those who haven’t sold their own yet

First impressions count; the doorstep can make or break a viewing. So, tidy up, make beds, clear away dishes, clear away worktops, de-clutter
If the house you are selling has belonged to a relative and is unlived in, freshen it up with flowers, open the windows and air the space. We have local trusted firms that can come and help with house clearance and furniture valuation if this is something that you may need, just ask
Make it clean, homely and welcoming

One squirt can transport you from the heat of last night's Indian Madras to the cool of the pine forests of Northern Sweden in the time it takes the door bell to ring. A pot of fresh flowers, a mirror above the mantelpiece, a print on the wall
The average buyer may spend just 15 minutes in your home before they decide to buy or not so it's the overall impression that the property makes that is important
Talk to your agent - remember it's their job - they sell houses everyday and listen to what they say
