Preparing for a showing:
 |
The
cleaner and more inviting you home feels to potential buyers the better
you house is going to show. Light some candles before showings, or keep a pot of water with some
cinnamon sticks and cloves on the stove and let it boil for a few minutes
before showings. Try NOT to use arousal cans. Some people are
allergic to them, and many times gives the impression that you're trying to cover up some
other odors. |
 |
Open
all the widows and blinds. Letting light in will give you house a
warmer and more welcoming feeling. It will also make the house to
appear larger and more open. Turn on all lights before showings
when possible, even during the day. Leaving lights on will give
your house a more homey and inviting felling at night
|
 |
If you have pets,
ideally you should take them with you when you know someone is coming.
That way people are able to look with out distractions, and you
don't have to worry about the cat or dog getting out.
You of course won't be ale to take the animals every time you have a
showing, so be sure to mention it to your agent when listing, and they
can make a note of it on the Multiple Listing Service so other agents
are aware of your pets before they get to the house. |
Why you shouldn't be home
