Here are some quick tips to have your house ready for a showing or an open house.
Vacuum/Mop Floors
Clean off countertops/refrigerator fronts/coffee tables/bureaus/shelves of clutter
Fresh flowers or a bowl of lemons in center of table adds a lot of brightness
Turn on all lights, replace burned out bulbs. TV’s off.
Hide shoes, jackets, hats in closets
Close garage doors, remove cars from driveway, trash should not be seen
Yard should be picked up – kids bikes/toys away. Pool clean and inviting .
Beds made. Clear nightstands off. Open curtains/blinds.
Pets should not be home. Hide food bowls. Yard clean of any pet waste.
Bathroom counters completely clear. Toilet seats down. Remove dirty towels and laundry baskets.
Think of that feeling when you walk in to a model home. That’s your goal!
