10 Tips for Sellers for a Successful Open House | Print |  E-mail
 
  1. Set a time and date with your REALTOR® for your Open House. Ask how they will advertise the Open House.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Make sure all rooms are accessible and free from clutter and that each room has a clearly defined purpose.
  5. Clean, clean, clean! Bathrooms and kitchens should sparkle. Clear off countertops, put out fresh towels and make sure toilet seats and lids are down.
  6. If possible, remove all pets from the home and yard.
  7. Put away all valuables and any personal information that you wouldn’t want a buyer to see.
  8. Play soft music in the background, nothing loud or offensive.
  9. Turn on all lights and open blinds and curtains to let outside light in.
  10. Leave the rest in the good hands of your chosen REALTOR®!
