SHowing your house?
Read below for several dos and don'ts when realtors and their clients visit your house. I have put together some of my recommendations and experiences for consideration during a house showing. You will want your visitors to feel comfortable walking into your home and be able to take a tour as they choose. Following the list below will increase your chances of selling your home.
Do's:
- Clean Like Crazy
- Remove All Clutter
- This will make your house look bigger
- Turn All Lights On
- Have All Residents Leave the House Before Visitors Arrive
- For example, go for a walk or on an errand for the full duration of the showing
- Put Away Most Kitchen Counter Items
- Remove very visible pictures of you and your family
Dont's:
- Forget About Curb Appeal
- This is the first impression that buyers receive when visiting your house
- Sit Outside in Your Car Watching Visitors
- Leave Any Pets in the house, regardless if they are in a cage
- Display Toiletries in Bathrooms - looks like clutter
- Burn Candles - the house should not have any significant smells
Extra Recommendations:
- Hire a Home Stager
- Remove Bulky or Unnecessary Furniture
- Begin to Pack Early - You'll have the clutter out of sight
