Simple Tips For Showing Your Home
Kirsten Hawkins

If your home is on the market, it should be available at all
times for showing to potential buyers. After all, how else do
you expect to sell it? During the time your house is on the
market, try to keep it prepared for a showing whenever
possible. When you get prior notice that someone is coming to
view your home, there are a few simple things you can do to
ensure their viewing is a pleasant one.

The number one thing is not to be there. If it all possible,
try to schedule showings during times when you're at work, or
simply leave for an hour when you know potential buyers are on
their way. The reason is obvious: Buyers who are exploring your
home will feel like they're intruding if you are there, and
they'll want to exit quickly. You want buyers to feel welcome,
and to feel as though this house is a place they might be able
to call home themselves. Your absence allows them to test their
own comfort level in the home.

Take out the trash. This is a tiny tip that works wonders. Even
if it's hidden in the cellar, or if the can is almost empty, put
a fresh trash bag in before buyers come to look at your home.
Aside from eliminating the chance that your house might have a
funky smell, this also reduces the "lived-in" look," making it
easier for buyers to picture this home as their own.
Don't leave out dirty dishes. This is another big "Someone
Lives Here" clue that is unpleasant to buyers. If you have a
dishwasher, it's fine to pile the dirty dishes inside and close
the door (although keep in mind that if the dishwasher comes
with the house, they might very well look inside!) But a sink
(or, worse, a table) piled with dishes sends the wrong message.

Open the curtains. This one seems small, but it's not. Even if
you don't have much natural light in your home, it's crucial to
take advantage of what you do have. Open all blinds fully
(unless there's a really ugly view outside) and draw back
light-blocking curtains. If you're out of luck and your showing
isn't on a sunny day, turn on the lights in every room. You
might feel like you're wasting energy, but in reality you're
eliminating dark corners and a possibly musty feeling that
might come from a house sitting in shadow.

The best way to keep a house prepared for the market is to keep
the major cleaning at bay. Wash, wax and vacuum twice a week,
and keep it picked up in between. That way, if you get
last-minute notice of a showing, you can fix a few details,
head out the door, and know that your house is showing its best
possible face to the world.
