How Should I Prepare For An Open House?

How should I prepare for an open house?

1. Clean your house top to bottom; a spotless home is essential.

2. Mow the lawn or clear away the ice, and be sure to put away all toys and yard equipment.

3. Lock up your valuables. Although the real estate salesperson will be on site during the open house, it’s not possible to watch everyone all at once.

4. Turn on all the lights - even in the daytime.

5. Remove all pets from the house.

6. Leave the house. It is awkward for prospective buyers to look around and express their opinions of your house while you are there.

Take the time to prepare properly for the open house to ensure its success. Make it clean and inviting. Please pass this on to others you know working to sell their homes. Call me at 402-305-4335 anytime with any questions!
