Your front door gives a vital first impression while a Realtor and prospect wait for you to answer the doorbell. Be sure it is scrubbed clean. Dress up your windows in freshly laundered curtains. Keep all steps clear of hazard. Don't forget to have all light sockets filled with bulbs.
Illumination is like a welcome sign.
The potential buyers will feel a glowing warmth when you turn on all your lights for an evening inspection. Make up all beds with attractive spreads. Keep pets out of the way when showing. Leave the property while it is being shown, if possible. Otherwise try to avoid having too many people present during showings.
