OPEN HOUSE TIPS
step1
A spotlessly clean home is essential; dirt will turn off a prospect faster than anything. Eliminate half of your belongings as clutter can cost a sale. You want all surfaces to be clear. This gives the impression your home is neat and well taken care of.
step2
Mow your lawn, and be sure toys and yard equipment are put away.
step3
Make sure the front door is inviting. Paint the door if needed.
step4
Buy a new welcome mat.
step5
Lock up your valuables, jewelry, and money. Although the real estate salesperson will be present during the open house, it’s impossible to watch everyone all the time.
step6
Turn on all the lights. Even in the daytime, incandescent lights add sparkle.
step7
Organize all closets and drawers. Buyers might look there.
step8
Make any necessary repairs so that buyers don't have to add that to their list of expenses.
step9
Rearrange furniture to make rooms appear as large as possible.
step10
Make every surface shine, from ceiling fans to baseboards. Don't forget interior windows, mirrors and floors.
step11
Scrub every inch of the kitchen and bathrooms.
step12
Buy air neutralizer and spray it often.
step13
Time to leave. It’s awkward for prospective buyers to look in your closets and express their opinions of your home with you there.
