While Your House is Being Shown
|
|
Before Your House is Shown
- Open shades and curtains to let in light
- Turn on most or all lights so home is well lit during showing
- At night, turn on porch light and outdoor lighting
- Tidy all the rooms. Neatness makes a good impression
- Clear counters, sinks, and tables of as much clutter as possible
- The cleaner and neater the home is, the better
- Put away items in the yard such as bicycles, tools, lawnmowers, etc
- If possible, have a pleasant smelling candle burning or perhaps an apple pie baking in the oven
- In Fall or Winter, light a fire in the fireplace
- Soft background music is a very nice touch
While Your House is Being Shown
- When possible, leave the home. If you cannot, try to stay in an out of the way area so the potential buyer can feel free to make comments and ask questions
- Let your real estate professional show your house. If you are asked a question, answer candidly, but try to let the Broker use her skills
- It is best to be away from the home during an open house
- Keep radio, stereo or TV on low volume
- Keep valuables and money out of sight
