Lights add color and warmth, and make prospects feel welcome. Crowd Scenes Potential buyers often feel like intruders when they enter a home filled with people. Rather than giving your house the attention it deserves, they're likely to hurry through. Keep the company present to a minimum. Your Pets Dogs and cats are great companions, but not when you're showing your home.
Pets have a talent for getting underfoot.
Keep Kitty and Spot outside, or at least out of the way. When it's time to show your home, it's time to turn down the stereo or TV 15. Relax Be friendly, but don't try to force conversation. Prospects want to view your home with a minimum of distraction. Don't Apologize No matter how humble your abode, never apologize for its shortcomings.
