Dressing Up Your Home
It's in the details...
Curb Appeal is Key
Keep lawn well manicured
Wash exterior windows
Add fresh mulch and flowers to your landscaping
Create the Illusion of Space
Store excess furniture, decorations, toys, and clothes (you'll be moving soon anyway)
Take down extra pictures
Clear clutter off kitchen & bathroom counters
Make your Home Sparkle
Clean all windows & mirrors, clean draperies & blinds
Shampoo carpets
Vacuum, sweep, and dust
Clear any cobwebs from corners or light-fixtures
Little Fixes that Really Count
Use higher wattage bulbs
Clean or replace wall switch plates
Replace corroded and tired-looking sink and bathtub faucets
Repair paint chips, holes in the wall, and remove dated wallpaper
Create a Buying Atmosphere
Be absent during showings
Open drapes and blinds during the day
Play soft music in the background
Keep pets outside or take them with you
Make sure the house smells fresh, clean, & is well ventilated
Appeal subtly with fresh flowers, scented candles, or baking aromas
