Showings and Open Houses

Planned open house appointments will allow you time to prepare. But oftentimes, the window of opportunity to expose your property to a motivated buyer can be small. So every time you leave you home, make sure it is ready for an unexpected showing.

General Preparation

	When preparing you home, think about the techniques used to show builders’ model homes or what you might do to prepare for honored guests.
	Review pointers from “First Impressions” checklist, particularly regarding cleanliness, clutter and repairs – interior and exterior.
	Create as light, cheerful and serene an environment as possible.
	Open drapes and light lamps including those in closets, basement or attic.
	Add a welcoming touch by filling candy dishes and putting out fresh flowers.

Bedrooms

	Make beds, put clothes and toys away, keep decorator pillows orderly.
	Turn blinds so slats are uniformly open. Put on light if room is dark.

Bathrooms

	Put out a clean hand towel, fresh soap and soap dish.
	Put commode lid down and ensure tissue supply is adequate.
	Potpourri dish can provide a nice sight and scent.

Kitchen

	Put away last minute dishes and conceal countertop articles.
	Simmer a few drops of vanilla on stove.

Dining Room

	Arrange inviting centerpiece
	Consider setting the table with fine china and linen.
	Light chandelier.

Living Room/Family Room/Den

	Straighten pictures on walls.
	Adjust couch cushions and throw pillows.
	Dispose of newspapers and drink containers, and polish tabletops.
	Light fireplace in winter.

Entryway

	When exiting just before buyers arrive, turn around at the front door and see what the prospects first impression will be. What is the first thing you will notice from that vantage point? Is it an asset?
	Notify neighbors of scheduled open house days, and assure them they’ll be welcome. Their eagerness to discover decorating ideas for their own homes may actually result in them turning up a buyer among their friends.
