Thank You for Welcoming Us In
When we visited your home, we saw the care you’ve put into it — the personal touches, the details that make it yours. Thank you for letting us be part of that moment and for considering us during such an important decision.
Now that your home is officially on the market, this is an exciting chapter — the beginning of a journey that could lead to your next adventure. As you settle into it, we thought we’d share a few gentle tips that our own clients find useful in these first few weeks. Nothing about fees or figures — just honest guidance from one property-loving team to another.
1. Keep Your “Launch Energy” Alive
The first two weeks are all about momentum.
Stay in close contact with your agent; ask how the online impressions and enquiries are looking, and whether buyers are engaging with the listing.
A good agent will be happy to explain what those numbers mean and how they’re interpreting the feedback.
At No. 86, we track this data daily as part of our Gage Interest stage within our SAGE Marketing Strategy. It helps us fine-tune listings quickly before interest cools — something you might find useful to ask about with any agent you work with.
2. Create Moments, Not Just Spaces
You’ve done the hard work getting ready for photography and viewings; now think about the experience buyers have when they walk in.
Open the curtains early to let in light. Add a touch of scent — freshly brewed coffee or a subtle candle — and if you can, pop on soft background music.
Those tiny details can help buyers linger, imagine themselves living there, and connect emotionally. Our cinematic marketing is built on this idea of feeling.
The same principle works beautifully for in-person viewings too.
3. Stay Balanced And Kind To Yourself
Selling a home is emotional. Even when everything’s going well, it can feel strange having strangers walk through your space.
Take time to enjoy normal life between viewings.
You don’t have to keep the house in “show-home” mode 24/7 — just a five-minute reset before each appointment is enough.
4. Keep A Short Viewing Diary
Jot down notes after each visit: how long viewers stayed, what questions they asked, what comments they made to the agent. You’ll start to notice patterns — the things people love and the questions that come up often.
Those insights are gold dust for future marketing tweaks.
Looking Ahead
Right now, your focus should be on gathering feedback and obtaining offers.
And if, in time, you ever want a fresh perspective or simply another opinion on how the market’s responding, our door (and inbox) is always open — no obligation, no pressure.
Enjoy this stage. You’ve done something exciting, and we genuinely hope your sale journey goes smoothly.
