Checklist to
Prepare Your Home for Showing
& Get Top Dollar
Sometimes the little things can make a big difference
OK. You've expended some energy and spruced up the exterior and
interior of
your home following my thorough checklists. It is looking great
and it is ready to show.
But your are not done! Here is a list of things you need to do
each time your home is scheduled for showing.
Lake Lakengren Home Showing Checklist
| Housekeeping |
- Make beds
- Wash dishes and put away clean dishes, including emptying
the dishwasher
- Empty wastebaskets
- Do quick vacuuming and dusting
- Make sure pet's litter boxes, cages and bedding are clean
and odor-free
- Any household or children's items should be stored away. This includes toys, bikes, skateboards, etc.
- While your home is being held open, arrange to spend the time away from the house, especially if you have small children. If this is not possible, go for a walk, visit a neighbor, or keep children quiet when your home is being shown to prospects.
- Save visiting agents' business cards for your agent.

soft background music
