Before Your House Is Shown

      Tag or remove items not included in sale (i.e. water conditioner, chandeliers, plants, drapes)

      Open shades and curtains to let in light

      Turn on enough lights so home is well-lit during showing

      At night, turn on porch light and outdoor lighting

      Tidy all the rooms. Neatness makes a room easier to view

      Clean dirty dishes in the sink and put away any dishes on counter

      Keep toys in the children’s rooms

      Put away items in the yard such as bicycles, gardening tools and skateboards

      If fall or winter, light a fire in the fireplace

 

While Your House Is Being Shown

      When possible, leave while the property is shown. If not, remain in an area not being shown by the sales associate

     Let the real estate expert show your house. Answer questions candidly when asked, but avoid questioning potential buyers

      Refer inquiries about seeing your house to your Realtor to take advantage of the agent’s professional skills in selling your home

      Don’t mention items you wish to dispose of unless asked

      It is best to be away when your agent is holding an open house

      Keep pets outdoors or in one area

      Keep children quiet and in one area

      Keep radio, stereo or TV on low volume

       Keep money and other valuable items out of sight
