When it comes to home showings, it's best to have an agent present the house. They'll present the
house from a sales perspective and know the right things to say. It's also preferable for you to be
away from the home during the showing or open house. This will make potential buyers feel more
at ease and allow them to take a more thorough look around without feeling rushed or intrusive.
Here are a few tips to make your home inviting and appeal to the largest number of potential buyers.
Clean or paint the front door to make a sharp first impression
Remove family pictures to make it easier for buyers to imagine living in the
home Organize closets and consider moving unnecessary items to a
temporary storage unit to make storage areas appear larger. Clear as
many objects from shelves as possible and remove some of the furniture.
In the bathroom consolidate cosmetics to an organized container you can keep out of sight
Have carpets professionally cleaned for a fresh look and smell, especially if you have pets
Remove any unsightly wood scraps and building materials from the yard
Power-wash your driveway, decks and porches to remove moss and buildup
Requests to see your home can come at any time. If you're serious about selling, you and your
house must be prepared whenever buyers have time to come by. Make sure you do these 5 things
everyday before you leave the house:
Rinse dirty dishes and put in dishwasher (people may look inside)
Make the beds
Make sure no laundry is lying around
Pick up toys and clutter that may accumulate on stairs or walkways
Open blinds and curtains and leave a few lights on to make the space feel brighter
Preparing your home for sale and keeping it in peak condition will help buyers picture themselves
living in your home and may result in higher offers.
