5 Ways To Add Fun To The Selling Process

Posted on Nov 29, 2021

When you think about selling your property, do you dwell on the possible work and stress involved? You're not alone. Many homeowners share the same concerns.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

In fact, there are plenty of ways to add some fun, anticipation, and even a sense of adventure to the selling process. Here are just a few ideas:

1. PLAN FUN OUTINGS WHEN YOU HAVE SHOWINGS.

 Go for a walk exploring new neighbourhoods and take a picture at a new landmark; Attend a sporting event or take a ball to your local park for a spontaneous game of soccer; Go out for dinner on a Monday night and have zero restrictions on the menu. The point is, moving is stressful enough so add a bit of fun by experiencing something you and your family have never done before. Those will be the memories, not the stress of moving. 
 

2. DECLUTTER FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT.

Instead of thinking about decluttering as a chore required for the sale, focus instead on how much more comfortable your home will be after decluttering. Studies consistently show that less clutter reduces stress and increases a sense of well-being.

3. CREATE POSITIVE ANTICIPATION FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS.

 Save pictures of your next home, including neighbourhood shots, as the lock screen or screen saver on your phone, ipad and desktop . Sit together on the computer and explore your new neighbourhood features and amenities.

4. CELEBRATE MILESTONES IN THE SELLING PROCESS.

 For example, when you're finished purging, write down one new dream item for the new home and imagine where it will go! Finished packing, do a cartwheel in the empty space! Finished preparing your property for sale, go out to celebrate. Make a checklist of milestones and how you'll celebrate each one.
 

5. GET THE HELP YOU NEED.

A big part of the stress of selling is the anticipated work involved. Remember, you don't have to do it all yourself. Much of what needs to be done can be handled by contractors and other professionals, or choose a service package with your professional REALTOR® that includes a lot of the prep.
