Hi,
Our reno is finally coming to an end. We've been held up a lot with the floors being polishished because of the fear of asbestos (which came back clear). The final coat finally went on today and from all reports they came up really well.
We have a cleaner going through in the morning and a guy tidying the garden today. There's an open house (for rent) tomorrow at 12:00. The only problem is that there are a few finishing off bits to be done which wont be done until after tomorrow - lay some vinyl in a back room, install a laundry bench top and door handle, hang a curtain, all of which were delayed because we couldn't walk on the floor. I'm really frustrated that people may be going through before it's totally finished which got me thinking...
I know people say to advertise before completion so there's a better chance of getting someone in as soon as it's finished, but do you mind having people come through before it's done? We've had it up for a week, but the online photos don't do it justice because there's very limited pics due to a delay in doing floorboards. (I know I'm a bit OCD) My fear is that now the listing is a week old and people won't click on it because it's lost the punch that a new listing gets - obviously we'll change the main photo.
We had a guy ready to come in on Tuesday but we had to put him off because he couldn't walk on the floors - I don't want to delay him again. I think next time I'll just wait until it's totally finished and then advertise.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
BTW - I'll upload before and after pics and costings on the weekend!
