Appealing to the five senses makes communication more vivid, engaging, and memorable.
Sensory details help others imagine and connect emotionally with what’s being described, whether it's the warm feel of sunlight, the smell of fresh coffee, or the sound of birds in the morning. This kind of language holds attention, triggers memories, and can even influence decision-making (like purchasing a home) —making ideas feel more real, relatable, and persuasive.
-
Buyers can rule a property out of contention within seconds, it is hard to then recover and try to secure the best price, ensure presentation doesn’t start at the front door but before they arrive at the property
-
Extending on from curbside appeal, I request the assistance of neighbours… poor presentation or disruption from the neighbours can negatively impact the sales campaign.
A great result for your property will left the value of their home too, it never hurts to ask your local community to assist.
