Tips for Selling Process of Bed and Breakfast

                      

The bed and Breakfast experience offers an experience that is unrivalled by an all-inclusive hotel stay.

Here there are some easy tips to make your selling process of Bed and breakfast smooth and swift!

                       

• Choose a reasonably priced listing for your Bed & Breakfast.
• Promote what you‘re selling. Some different techniques include placing ads in magazines, newspapers, and on the Internet to help get the word around. There are many online locations available to help sell your business. Sometimes advertising to your B&B guests will make a sale, too.
• Location, Location, Location! In your ad mention attractions, sights, landmarks, or activities nearby. Where your property is found can determine if it will receive many guests.
• Pictures say a thousand words, so it's very important to have both the exterior and interior looking pristine. Even a video is a great asset. Remember curb appeal—if buyers do not like what they see on the outside, it might be hard to persuade them to take a look inside.
• If showing in winter, make sure front walk is shoveled and salted. Winter time planters make it more appealing.
• If showing in spring, summer, or fall, have seasonal flowers in the garden, make sure walkway has been swept, grass has been cut and leaves are raked. Some paint touch ups might be necessary as well.
• Clean. Buyers look everywhere: in the drawers, under the sink, in the shower, in closets. Don't forget to clean appliances such as the oven, fridge and washer/dryer.
• Selling your bed and breakfast with the furnishings can attract buyers' attention with no need to provide their own furnishings, especially if they intend to continue the business.
• Try to avoid scented air fresheners in case of allergies.
• If your B&B has a dog or cat, make sure to keep them away from potential buyers due to allergies or dislike.
• If your hallway has many doors, keep them closed until you're showing buyers each room so the buyers aren't distracted.

                          

Having run a bed and breakfast in Guanajuato for almost a year now, I can safely say I will never go back to the days of hotel concierge and cookie cutter bedrooms.
