Don't stick around to answer questions. Buyers will not bring up their objectives with you nearby, but they will discuss them with the real estate agent if you are not present 2. This makes your house seem bright and cheerful, and avoids a situation where buyers are led down a dark hallway during the showing. Be certain the windows have been cleaned then let in all the light you can. Remember, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
Most buyers like to imagine themselves living in a peaceful, serene atmosphere.
When closet doors are open, the rooms appear larger than life. This allows you to emphasise the spaciousness of your house. Be sure the closets are neatly arranged before you do this. Your pets are of no interest whatsoever to buyers who may be considering your home. The distraction and inconvenience, which a pet could cause, should be eliminmated.
