WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS BEING SHOWN
 
Keep draperies and shades open to let in light and make rooms appear
 larger.
• Remove and/or replace items not included in sale, if possible (chandeliers)
• Tag items not included that cannot be removed (water softeners)
• Turn on all room lighting
• At night turn on porch light and outdoor lighting in front and back
• Neatness makes a room look bigger. Avoid clutter.
• Keeps all steps clear of hazards
• Wash dishes, put away clothes, straighten up newspapers, etc.
• Make up beds with attractive spreads.
• Keep pets out of the way when showing. One type of prospect is annoyed,
 another's attention is diverted.
• Avoid having too many people present during inspections. The potential
 buyer will feel like an intruder and will hurry through the house. Do not allow
 children to tag along on the tour.
• Keep any toys in children's rooms.
• Keep the radio, stereo, TV turned down.
 
Remember to be a seller you have to look at
your home like a buyer
