TIPS TO PREPARE FOR BUYER SHOWINGS GOAL: SELL THE HOME!
1 / LET IN THE LIGHT
Open curtains and pull up the shades to let in as much light as possible.
2 / CLEAN
A dirty home does not look well maintained. Clean your home from top to bottom.
3 / STAGING
Having your home staged to look appealing to buyers can make a difference.
4 / DECLUTTER
All of your belongings do not sell with the home, so now is the time to de-clutter and remove personal items such as photos or collections.
5 / CURB APPEAL
A buyer’s first impression is made when that person pulls up the driveway. Make sure your home is tidy and welcoming.
6 / PETS
If you have pets, you need to make their presence disappear. Food bowls should be stored and toys hidden.
7 / DON’T STAY
When your home has a showing scheduled, you need to leave. A buyer wants to feel comfortable inspecting your home which is difficult to do if you are there.
