Open Houses & Showings

When preparing for an open house or showing, give your house a good once-over from top to bottom, paying special attention to the kitchen, storage and bathroom areas. It's a proven fact that clean, uncluttered and well-lit spaces look larger and more attractive, so clear away and store personal effects like toys, family photos and knick-knacks for showings and open houses.

You may want to give the walls a coat of neutral paint, or hire a Home Staging Consultant, who will help you rework certain elements of your home and make your home more attractive to buyers.

On the day of an open house, give your home a good tidy-up and ensure that any valuables are put away in a safe location before you go out, then relax and treat yourself to an afternoon off while the open house is underway.
