It’s very important that your home shows well.  We’re also aware that it can’t always be perfect.  After all, you and your family must live there, too.  Develop a routine that will allow you to pick up and be prepared to show in a reasonable period without duress...a 45 minute countdown, for example.  This means that certain things must be made up first thing in the morning and dirty dishes placed in the dishwasher after use so that you needn’t rush around tending to this matter at the last moment.  This way you can prepare for each showing in an organized, un-hassled routine.

BEFORE EACH SHOWING…

PICK UP EVERY ROOM   Check counters, floors, halls and stairs.  Straighten up or remove newspapers, magazines, mail, toys, clothing, recreation gear, snack glasses and dishes.

TURN ON ALL LIGHTS  Even those in closets and storage rooms.  Electric lights have an amazing capability for creating an illusion of lightness, airiness and largeness.

OPEN ALL DRAPES, SHADES AND BLINDS  Do all that you can to create a bright and light ambiance.  THE BEDROOMS  Make up the beds, neatly and attractively, early in the morning.  This is a job you don’t want to have to do when you learn that the buyers will be there within the hour.

THE KITCHEN  Be sure all countertops are clear and “squeaky clean”.  Wipe down appliances.  Be sure all dishes are in the dishwasher or cleaned and put away.  The sink should be clear and clean.
