TIPS FOR HOME SELLERS ON SHOWING YOUR HOME: HOW MAKE A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION EVERY TIME

Part 2 of 3 - Tips 5 through 7 of 10

5. Tidy Up. Be sure beds are made and dishes are not piling up in the sink. Put away all children’s toys, laundry, and any excess clutter.

6. De-personalize. If you have many family photos around your home (i.e. pictures on the refrigerator) and awards and trophies, now is the time to begin packing these things away. A buyer wants to walk in and imagine your home as his/her home and excess presence of your personal items might make it difficult for your buyer to establish this connection.

7. Insure all lights are working. Light adds warmth and cheerfulness. Darkness conveys the opposite impression. Be sure all light fixtures are working properly and replace any broken light bulbs.
