Today's tips for selling a home are on prepping your home for a showing:
*Keep every room clean and tidy and make all the beds.
*Put dirty dishes in the dishwasher, or wash and stack them neatly in the sink.
*Eliminate pet smells, clean carpets and drapes, empty trash often,
and refrain from cooking strong-smelling foods.
*Introduce good smells such as flowers, potpourri and air fresheners. Baking a pie or cookies is another clever tactic.
*Let in light. Brightness improves a home’s atmosphere.
*Make sure the temperature is comfortable.
*Set the dining room table to create a homey environment.
*Hire a cleaning service once a week to keep the house in show condition.
*Leave the house during a showing so that the buyers can
feel free to ask the real estate agent candid questions.
*Turn off radios and televisions.
*Keep pets out of the way.
