Home Selling Step 8: It's Show Time!

It's show time! Here are some suggestions for this to go smoothly for you! 

General Tips

• Plan to be gone for about 1.5 hours. Typically, there is a one hour time block for buyers to see the property, leaving a bit earlier and returning a little after the time frame ensures they have all the time they need if buyers show up early or stay a bit later. 
• Take pets with you, or make sure they are kenneled for their own safety as well. 
• Display your "Top Ten Reasons We Love Our Home"
• Display the brochures and listing sheets we have provided as well.
• Make sure the temperature is comfortable.
• Turn off alarm systems but still lock all doors and windows. The buyer's Realtor will be using our lock box to enter and leave.
• Fresh clean smells are best. 
• Playing easy listening music is always a plus!
• Hide valuables or take them with you.
