Get A Buyer’s Attention - Top 10 Secrets To Winning First Impressions

Just like making a first impression is important when meeting someone for the first time, making a good first impression on a prospective buyer is just as important to giving your house the best chance of being sold.

What is a first impression when it comes to your house?

When a prospect first drives by your neighborhood and sees your house, that is a first impression. When a prospect arrives at your house for the first time for an appointment after seeing your ad in the paper, that is a first impression.

What is a winning first impression then?

A winning first impression is the difference between whether a prospective buyer wants to follow up and make an appointment to see your house or not after driving by for the first time. A winning first impression is also the difference between whether a prospective buyer really wants to see the rest of your house after arriving for an appointment or just going through the motions and being polite.

How do you give your house that winning first impression?

Here are the top 10 things you should consider:

1) Start with looking at the exterior of your house objectively rather than as your own home. Often we are willing to overlook problems areas with our house simply because as our home, we have gotten accustomed with the way it looks.

2) Stand where a prospective buyer would park when they first drive by and look at the house. Do this both during the day and the evening. What does the house look like?

3) Similary stand where a prospective buyer would walk up to the house when they arrive at the house. Do this also during the day and the evening.

4) For both (2) and (3), take note of what are the strengths of the house and see where you can enhance them more.

5) Similarly for both (2) and (3), take note of what are the weaknesses of the house and see where you can minimize or hide them more.

6) Keep the exterior clean and tidy. This includes: getting rid of any signs of mold, keeping the lawn cut and free of any tools and toys, keeping the trees and bushes trimmed so that they don’t hide the house, edging the sidewalks, removing any grass growth between contrete or bricks, cleaning the gutters, cleaning the deck and patio, washing the windows, painting any parts of the exterior of the house that need repainting.

7) Enhance the look of the house in the evening with proper lighting. This includes: running low voltage lighting along the walkway, driveway, sidewalk, walkway, and near any landscaped areas. This also includes: adding or upgrading any lamps or light fixtures that are attached to the house or that may be on the lawn.

8) Enhance the look of the house during the day with proper landscaping. This includes: keep the lawn cut and clean, adding flower beds, rock gardens, trees and bushes, fixtures, and maybe even waterfalls. Use your imagination.

9) Change the door knobs and accessories in the entrance. Maybe even consider changing the front door or entrance area.

10) And last, don’t leave anything to the imagination for the prospective buyer. Most prospective buyers are busy enough and would rather look at another house.

Having a winning first impression with the house does not necessarily mean always that you need to have a big budget for the job. Taking into account some of the ideas presented, sometimes a little imagination and hard work will go a long way in giving your house that winning first impression and a better chance of being sold.

The Smart Way Protect Yourself From Bird Flu by Using Germicidal Hand Lotions

One thing that people can do to protect themselves from colds and flu is use germicidal hand lotions.

These lotions are commonly recommended by public health experts at the beginning of every cold and flu season. Almost all common commercial lotions contain isopropyl alcohol.

A company in the U.K. — Advanced Formulations — is already marketing a product called No-Germs to people concerned about bird flu.

To be fair, Advanced Formulations created No-Germs to deal with the very serious problem of MRSA or Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.

When they heard about bird flu, they tested No-Germs against the bird flu virus H5N1. And discovered that it was 99.8% effective against the H5N1 bird flu virus. Knowing a good thing when they see it, they now market No-Germs in England as a way to protect against bird flu. You can also buy it online at their site.

What’s the problem with both isopropyl alcohol and No-Germs?

Look at that number 99.8% again. It’s not 100%, is it?

And that’s the problem. Nothing kills 100% of microorganisms. There’re always a few oddballs in every crowd of germs who just happen to have a genetic resistance to anything you throw at them. A select few have the biochemical capacity to bind to the antibiotic and so render it harmless to them. Or some biochemical way of destroying the antibiotic. Or a biochemical pump that draws out the antibiotic.

A few always survive. They continue to multiply and divide — and so their descendants inherit the resistance. And so you have dangerous bacteria that laugh at your strongest antibiotics.

Look at it this way. What if the Earth were invaded by some race of aliens who wanted to wipe out humanity. So they unleashed a sophisticated bioweapon that destroyed every homo sapien with black, brown or blue eyes?

That would kill a huge percentage of the population — but not the people with green eyes or albinos with red eyes.

They only way to kill everybody would be to destroy the entire planet. But then the aliens would have nothing left to take over.

We could kill every germ inside ourselves simply by blowing ourselves up, but obviously that’s not a desireable option.

The process of creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria and viruses that resist antibiotics and germicides has been going on in hospitals for decades. And it’s why hospitals, nursing home and other medical treatment facilities are the worst places to catch an infection in.

Because those are the places which have attacked germs the most — forcing them to evolve into antibiotic and germicide-resistant varieties.

Does that mean hospitals and nursing home shouldn’t fight against harmful bacteria and viruses? Obviously not.

When you have a medical problem you must balance potential gain against potential risk.

When you have a life-threatening bacterial infection, take the antibiotic.

But if you take antibiotics every time you blow your nose . . . Or what’s even worse but it’s frighteningly common, you take them simply to prevent infections . . . you are encouraging the development of bacteria inside you that can resist antibiotics.

And that makes it more difficult for people who get a similar infection in future — including perhaps yourself — to defeat it.

That is what alcohol and now No-Germs can do to your hands. All skin has bacteria on it — which will not harm you. You are safe as long as the normal skin bacteria far outnumbers any disease-causing bacteria.

But apply isopropyl alcohol or No-Germs — and you kill the normal bacteria. You are just clearing the way for germicidal resistant and harmful bacteria to grow like weeds in a newly plowed garden.

Sometimes this is the lesser of two evils. Do consider using isopropylalcohol or No-Germs on your hands when:

1. You are a health care worker or anybody else in close contact with bird flu victims.

2. You’re caring for a bird flu patient at home.

3. You’re visiting someone in a hospital or nursing home. Apply lotion to your hands going in to protect the patients. Apply it to your hands after you leave, to protect you.

4. You handle dead birds or anything suspected of bird flu or anything for that matter that might have harmful bacteria or viruses of any kind.

5. You know that you’re touching door knobs or other objects recently touched by someone with bird flu. This could be at your work place or at home.

For most people, the best protection is still ordinary soap and water.

Wash your hands thoroughly several times a day, as well as before eating and after using the bathroom — of course. Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds at a time.

This cleans them of harmful bacteria and viruses just as effectively as anything else — without encouraging the evolution of germicide-resistant bacteria.

Complete your wall decor with Decorative Plates

Decorative plates are often overlooked when decorating a home. Yet, it’s the details that really make the elements of a room come togetherand decorative plates are a detail present in most rooms. While there are decorative plates that are solely functional in purpose, most have the potential to add to the ambiance of a room. Think about the following wall plate options:

  1. Cover your decorative plates in wallpaper that matches your wall for an understated elegance. You can also use this method to hide outlets on walls that display art.
  2. Wood decorative plates are perfect for a room with a country or colonial flair.
  3. Metal decorative plates come in a variety of textures and materials. Metal wall plates enhance contemporary, Victorian, and rustic decor.
  4. Porcelain decorative plates complement shabby chic, bathrooms, and some Victorian design.
  5. Mirror decorative plates can be used on mirrors, mirrored walls, or even as an eclectic detail in a uniquely decorated room.

Match your decorative plates with cabinets, doorknobs, and furniture hardware. With the wide variety available, you can also tailor them to table lamps and other light fixtures. Since wall plates come in all shapes and sizes, you can match them to the curves of your furniture placement. Matching will cleverly enhance featured pieces in a room without distracting from their appeal.


In addition to decorative plate style, you may want to consider changing the switch itself. Dimmer switches are available as dials, slides, touch pads, and combinations of each. The ability to adjust lighting in each room of your home provides you a way to highlight specific room features or set the appropriate mood.


Decorative plates, often taken for granted, are a versatile design element. They can be romantic, sophisticated, sleek, or fun. First decide what you need your decorative plate to do for a room, and then shop for it as seriously as you would shop for furniture, wall coverings, or carpet.Decorative plates are often overlooked when decorating a home.
