Just about anyone can sell a house, but it takes some knowledge to sell a home.
That's why realtors recommend tapping into buyers' feelings as soon as they step inside.
"There's two values to every home: one is the bricks, the mortar and the square footage. The other one is the emotional value of the home," says James Hodgins.
The Mississauga, Ont.-based realtor says capturing the buyer with a strong first impression creates a welcoming feeling that entices them to explore further. And the longer they stay inside, the better your chance of selling the home.
