Just do a room-by-room walk-through and then let them roam around on
their own afterwards. Just make sure it is clean and smells good in
there. Have some music playing and if you have a fireplace, make sure
it is lit. Point out all new improvements you have made while giving
the tour. Don't talk about any negatives, let them discover them on
their own. For all the negatives they may bring up, always find a
positive spin on it if possible or downplay it in some way.

One important point to note is that this is typically the worst time
of year to try and sell a home. The "dead" time is from the end of
October through March. It's not a problem to list it but when all the
home shoppers start looking in the Spring and they notice it's been
listed 150+ days, they will psyche themselves out that there must be
something wrong with the house since nobody has jumped on it yet.


I've priced it right for the area and the negatives. I've also told
the estate agent we will consider offers below the asking price.
Just want to sell it as I have split with my partner.
