As winter ends, many people take advantage of the warmer weather by looking for and buying new housing. Now is the opportune time to attract buyers to houses you plan on auctioning. Let’s look at some of the best ways to make your home auctions sizzle this spring and summer.
Set the Stage With Seasonal Vibes
Play up to the warmer, sunnier weather by incorporating seasonal vibes into your home auction. Use fresh flowers to add color and beauty.
Furnish the home with light-colored decor and include natural, airy materials that complement the spring and summer atmosphere. Showcase the outdoor areas with garden accents and patio furniture.
Utilize Scents and Sounds
Keep the spring and summer theme with seasonal scents and sounds. Use candles and air fresheners with light scents like lavender and lemon. Play light, cheerful music in the background to create a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere.
Showcase Energy Efficiency
Highlight any energy-efficient systems the homes have. As warmer weather gets underway, many homeowners begin thinking ahead to how they can save money on energy expenses. Point out any cost-saving appliances, heating and cooling features, new windows, roofing and other features that will help reduce buyers’ monthly utility bills.
Maximize Curb Appeal
Make your home auctions some of the hottest on the market by maximizing the properties’ curb appeal. Add new coats of exterior paint to renew the properties’ appearance.
Plant vibrant flowers in the front yards to add dimension and beauty. Mow the lawn regularly and weed around any trees, flower gardens and bushes. Install new front doors to make a good impression on potential bidders.
Use Drones
Homebuyers typically want to see every inch of a property before they buy it. Use drone footage to take pictures and video of every angle of the houses you auction. Take aerial pictures of the neighborhood to include in your auction listings.
Host Outdoor Events on the Properties
Point out the properties’ potential by hosting outdoor events during the auctions. Spark up a grill and hand out hot dogs and burgers. Provide a lemonade stand or beverage cart.
Set up outdoor games like corn hole or horseshoes for people to play at the auctions. These events plant the proverbial seed in bidders’ minds about the gatherings they could host if they buy the properties.
Provide Virtual Tours
Spring and summer are busy seasons for many people. They may not have the time to stop by in person and check out the homes you plan to auction. Entice them with virtual tours that let them see the properties remotely at their own convenience.
These tips help your spring and summer home auctions sizzle. Want more information about how to make your auctions a success? Reach out to us today.
