To
prepare your home for viewing, make it as light, cheerful
and serene as possible.
- Open heavy drapes
- Turn on all the lights
- Make sure windows are clean
Tip:
When preparing your home, think about the techniques that
are used to show builders' model homes. You should not
be present while the house is being shown to prospective
buyers. This is done because your presence will inhibit
their actions and conversations. They won’t feel
free to open closets and cabinets, test out the plumbing,
and discuss their observations objectively as they walk
through.
It goes without saying that your children and pets should
not be on the premises either.
In preparing for showing the house, you should:
- Pull the drapes back
- Light lamps
- Simmer a few drops of vanilla on the stove
- Light your fireplace
- Set the dining room or kitchen table if you have
particularly nice linen or china
- Put fresh towels in the bathroom; and then
- Leave the house so your agent
is free to deal with prospective buyers in a professional
manner.
