Here are some ways to show your homes best side to potential buyers:
6 Steps to preparing for an Open House
1. Hire a cleaning service. A spotless home is essential
2. Mow your lawn and be sure toys and yard equipment are stored away. Clear snow and ice off sidewalks and driveway in the winter.
3. Serve cookies, coffee, and soft drinks. It creates a welcoming touch…but be sure the kitchen has been cleaned. Use disposable cups so the sink doesn’t fill up.
4. Lock up your valuables
5. Turn on all lights and lamps. Even in the daytime incandescent lights add sparkle
6. Send your pets to a neighbor or take them outside. If that's not possible, crate them.
