Make the most of that first impression.
Make sure the front door is freshly scrubbed or painted and make
sure the lawn is tidy and free of debris.
Think safety
You may be used to the slippery throw rugs, low hanging light fixtures
and running extension cords. Your prospects won't be. Eliminate
all safety hazards.
Make room for space
Get rid of everything you no longer need in closets, cupboards and
storage spaces. They will appear larger when not crammed to full
capacity.
Let the sunshine in!
Open all the draperies to let the light in. For evening showings,
turn on all the lights. Remember, a dark house is a dreary house.
Clean, clean, clean
Make your bathrooms and kitchens sparkle! These are the rooms that
will sell your house and they must be in the best condition that
they can be.
Watch your pets.
We know you love fido, but many people are afraid of dogs and cats.
Make sure they are in a crate or remove them from the property for
all showings.
Keep a low profile.
Nobody knows your home as well as you do. But real estate agents
know buyers and will have an easier time articulating the virtues
of your home if you stay in the background.
