How to Make Your Home Show-Ready
When selling your home, you’ll want to wow potential buyers during showings.
- Prior to listing your home, make necessary repairs. A leaky water heater or damaged roof could make buyers wary.
- Do an initial deep cleaning of your house, and before each showing, tidy up by dusting, vacuuming and taking out the trash.
- Stage your home to make it look inviting.
- Staging will also help buyers envision themselves living in the space.
- Remove potentially offensive items, including political, religious and even sports team references.
- These could distract buyers or, worse, push them away.
- For more tips on preparing your home for showings, ask your real estate agent.
