When a prospective resident comes for a visit, you want your community to make a maximum positive impact. At Occupancy Solutions, we want to provide you with some pointers as to how to make sure your tour is one that catches your visitor’s eye, and provides them with something to remember when they go back home and consider what living in your community will bring to their lifestyle. A few tips on making sure your tour leaves a great impression are:

  • Check the outside – The outside of the residence you’ll be touring will make a big impression, and you’ll want to make sure its kept on the up-and-up as far as curb appeal goes. Make sure to fix any cosmetic damages that may be visible from outside, and to tidy up the outside in order to provide an attractive canvas your visitor can imagine themselves living in.
  • Clean the inside – Fresh carpets, fresh paint, and taking an ultra-clean approach is always recommended for the inside of your space. Before touring any prospective residents, it’s important to clean the residence you’re showing thoroughly and from top to bottom to ensure you’re making a maximum positive impact.
  • Sell the features – The features of the residence are also important, and if a particular space has a large living room, a great view, or a set of new appliances, consider the importance of selling these features and using them to further attract your visitor’s interest.
  • Keep it furnished – Furnishing a vacant residence can help those touring the space to imagine what it will look like as a home. You’ll want to keep the space furnished with neutral and classic styles, and arrange the furnishings to allow for the best use of the space.
  • Pay attention to temperature – A residence that is too hot or too cold can turn off a touring prospective resident, so it’s best to keep things comfortable. If you’re touring visitors in the summer, keep the temperature a little on the cooler side, and alternatively, if you’re touring in the winter, make it a little warmer.

With a few tips, touring prospective residents for maximum impact can be made easy, and we at Occupancy Solutions have all of the tips you need to know to make every tour a worthwhile one. To learn more about touring visitors in your community, simply check us out at OccupancySolutions.com today!
