What Last Minute Items Do I Need to Do Before Showings?
After we’ve prepped your house for sale, taken photos, and set a price, we’re ready for the public to see your home.
What is a showing?
A showing takes place either at an Open House, which is a scheduled session when anyone can come by without an appointment, or during a private appointment scheduled through us.
How do I prepare my house for a showing?
The last-minute prep just prior to any showing, includes:
- Turn on all the lights and open the blinds for maximum light.
- Take out the garbage.
- Make the beds.
- Clear and dust surfaces.
- Take your pets with you and put away pet bowls.
- Hide your valuables.
- Turn off your computer.
- Set the temperature.
- Put out fresh towels.
Three important things you can do to help get your house sold are:
- Leave when your house is being shown. Buyers prefer to look at homes when they can move around freely and the owners aren’t there.
- Make your house as available as possible. While it may be inconvenient to show your home at certain times, buyers who can’t see a property when they’re eager may cross it off their list.
- Listen to any feedback from buyers or their agents about ways you can make your home more appealing.
We’ll work together to ensure maximum exposure and a faster sale. Don’t worry! We have lots of connections to “advertise” your house and get the right people to see it in person.
