The best way to show a house is to have it readily accessible. Turn all your lights on 2. Open all of your drapes and shutters 3. If needed, take a short walk with your children and pets, leave the premises. Let the agents do their job so the buyer can be at ease.
New paint makes a whole house smell clean and neat.
If your house has chipped or faded paint, exposed wood, or looks faded, it is time to paint. If your carpet is worn, dirty, outdated, or has an unusual color, you should seriously consider replacing it. Many houses do not sell because of this problem. Don't think buyers have more money than you have to replace it. They may simply buy elsewhere.
