Presenting Your Home For Sale

It’s now time for prospective buyers to visit your house. Here are some extra tips to help you prepare your home for viewing:

• Fill the house with light. Open all curtains and blinds and switch on lights.
• Make the house smell beautiful. Fresh air is good in summer or spring. Alternatively, you might simmer vanilla essence on the stove, brew coffee, use an oil burner, potpourri or bake biscuits.
• Clean and clear all the benches and tables.
• Put out fresh towels, tea towels, table cloths, etc.
• Restrain any pets.
• Switch off the television and radio, although soft, soothing music may be suitable.
• Make sure the house is at a comfortable temperature.
• Put some flowers in a vase.
• Give your agent the key to the front door. Potential buyers are important visitors and should not have to enter via the back door.
• Make yourself scarce!
