SHOWING YOUR HOME Don’t Just Show Your Home… Show It Off! FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING The front of your home greets the buyers. Make sure your landscaping is well manicured. Mow your lawn weekly and edge up the driveway and along the sidewalks. Make sure your exterior paint is in good condition, front door is clean, your sidewalk and steps are clear of snow and ice. NEAT AND CLEAN Make sure your house is neat and clean from top to bottom. A clean house shows better and sells easier. MANAGE YOUR PETS Make sure your pets will not be a distraction and make sure pet areas are clean and odor free. SECURE YOUR VALUABLES You may want to consider putting your valuables in a safe deposit box while your home is on the market. PERSONAL ITEMS Pare down on personal items on foyer tables, fireplace mantels and refrigerator doors. BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL Open the drapes and blinds, and turn on the lights to make your home bright and cheerful. TEMPERATURE Set a comfortable temperature; cool in summer, warm in winter. SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS Try to arrange your schedule so you can leave your home when an appointment is scheduled. If buyers are alone with their Realtor ® , they are more likely to ask questions and discuss their thoughts about your home. If you are home when buyers come to look at your house, let the Realtor ® do the showing. Be mindful of what you say to the buyers about the house and especially try to avoid the topics about price, terms, possession or other details about the house. Do not show your home to prospects without an appointment; refer them to your Realtor ® . NOBODY SELLS MORE real estate THAN RE/MAX
