- Set a time and date with your REALTOR® for your Open House. Ask how they will advertise the Open House.
- Curb appeal. Make buyer’s want to enter your home. Shovel walkways in winter, mow the lawn in the summer and clean up any debris in the yard.
- Make a good first impression. Ensure door handles work properly and the entryway is clear of clutter. In inclement weather, place a non-skid mat inside the front door.
- Make sure all rooms are accessible and free from clutter and that each room has a clearly defined purpose.
- Clean, clean, clean! Bathrooms and kitchens should sparkle. Clear off countertops, put out fresh towels and make sure toilet seats and lids are down.
- If possible, remove all pets from the home and yard.
- Put away all valuables and any personal information that you wouldn’t want a buyer to see.
- Play soft music in the background, nothing loud or offensive.
- Turn on all lights and open blinds and curtains to let outside light in.
- Leave the rest in the good hands of your chosen REALTOR®!
