5 Minute Tips: Prep Your Home for Viewing
You have potential buyers coming but you’re already running late for work. What can you do in 5 minutes that will have the most impact?
1. Tidy the foyer / front entrance.
The front entrance is the first impression of your home. Put away your family’s shoes, hats, jackets, mail, etc.
2. Turn on lights and open the curtains.
Brighter homes look larger and more welcoming. Your real estate agent would be happy to turn off the lights and close the curtains after the prospective buyers have left, if you ask them.
3. Give the powder rooms a once-over.
Put the toilet lids down, wipe any hair and toothpaste spills from the sink, and put away toiletries.
4. Remove personal items.
Quickly go through your home and remove personal items such as family photos, bills and jewellery. This will help potential buyers picture themselves making the home their own.
5. Shake off your welcome mat.
Make sure your welcome mat is clean, free of leaves, bugs or other outdoor distractions that have a habit of accumulating.
This quick and easy task list will help you present your home to buyers in the best light, and it will ensure your mind doesn’t wander back to your house throughout the day with worries that you did not leave your home as clean as you could have.
