When selling your home there are several steps you can take to find a buyer:

1. Hire a reputable estate agent: ( abbotFox of course! ) A good estate agent should market your property on property portals, and on social media as well as use its database to match your home with potential buyers. They will also handle the paperwork and negotiations on your behalf.
2. Price your home correctly: Pricing your home too high could deter potential buyers, while pricing it too low could mean you lose out on profit. Research the local market and work with your estate agent to come up with a fair and competitive price.
3. Prepare your home for sale: Make sure your home is clean, tidy and well-presented for viewings. Consider staging your home, get some staging tips from YouTube videos or hire a staging consultant.
4. Make any necessary repairs: or improvements to increase its value and appeal.
5. Be flexible with viewings: Try to accommodate as many potential buyers as possible by being flexible with viewing times.
6. Consider hosting an open house: This can be a great way to generate interest in your property and attract multiple potential buyers at once. Chat with your estate agent about this.

What is the best time of day to show my home to potential buyers?

The best time of day to show your home to potential buyers may vary depending on several factors, including the location, the type of property, and the preferences of the buyers. However, there are a few general guidelines that can help:

1. Weekends are generally the best time to show your home, as most people have more free time to schedule viewings. Saturday mornings or early afternoons tend to be the most popular time slots.
2. Avoid showing your home during rush hour or peak traffic times, as this could make it difficult for buyers to get to your property.
3. Consider the orientation of your home and the amount of natural light it receives. If your home has a lot of natural light, it may be best to schedule viewings during the day when the light is at its best but make sure the windows are clean! 
4. If your home is in a busy area, it may be better to schedule viewings during quieter times, such as mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
5. Consider the schedules of the potential buyers. If they work regular hours during the week, it may be more convenient to schedule viewings in the evening.

Ultimately, the best time to show your home will depend on the specific circumstances of your property and the preferences of the potential buyers. 

When potential buyers are viewing your home, there are several questions you can ask to get a sense of their level of interest and to help you determine if they are a good fit for your property.

Here are some examples:

1. What features of the home do you like the most? This can help you understand what aspects of the home are most appealing to the buyer.
2. What is your timeline for buying a home? This can help you determine how motivated the buyer is and whether they are looking to make a quick purchase or are taking a more leisurely approach.
3. Have you viewed other properties in the area? This can help you understand how your property compares to others on the market and what the buyer is looking for in a home.
4. What is your budget? This can help you determine whether the buyer can afford your home and whether there is room for negotiation on price.
5. Have you been pre-approved for a mortgage? This can help you determine the buyer's financial situation and their ability to secure financing for the purchase.
6. What are your main must-haves in a home? This can help you understand what the buyer is looking for and whether your home meets their needs.
7. Are there any concerns or questions you have about the property? This can help you address any potential objections the buyer may have and provide more information to help them make a decision.

By asking these questions, you can get a better sense of the buyer's interest level and whether they are a good fit for your property. 

You can always ask your estate agent to show your home and then it's up to them to ask all the relevant questions.

Be prepared for negotiations: Once you receive an offer, be prepared to negotiate with the buyer. Work with your estate agent to determine what price and terms are acceptable to you.

By taking these steps, you'll be well on your way to finding a buyer for your Norfolk home.
