Preparing your home for a private viewing

duda • March 28, 2022

When showing your home for a private showing, there are some things you will want to consider.  Do not leave any valuables or medications out, lock them up. Real Estate Agents will watch for odd behavior in the perspective buyers but sometimes things happen that are out of the agents' control.    Remove (or limit) the family photos you have on display, remember, you want your perspective buyer to see their family in the home, not yours.   Make sure your home is clean, no dirty dishes in the sink, clean any cat boxes so they are fresh, no dirty laundry laying around, clean the toilets, declutter the kitchen counter, have minimal items on the countertop.  Take the trash out and make the beds, also don't forget to do a quick once around the yard to make sure that it looks like a yard your perspective homebuyer would want to hang out in. These are all little items that will go a long way in not only selling your home but getting top dollar for your home.


IN SUMMARY:

Clean up

First impression is everything! Clean up your home and make it spotless.


Organize everything, including closets

Don’t forget to check inside your closets and other hidden places. They will want to see everything.


Make Your home cozy and inviting

Add artwork, plants, dried flowers, candles and other things that will make the property feel homey.


Pets
Ask a friend to take care of your pet during the viewing.

How to pack your stuff

By duda • March 28, 2022
PACKING YOUR HOUSE According to the experts at U-Haul, there are some things you can do to make packing easier. Start with the least used rooms first (make a note of the things you may need up to the days before you leave and pack those last). Pack one room at a time. Doing this will keep the room items together on the other side when you get to your new home. Pack heavier items in small boxes, nobody wants to hurt their backs when moving. Use good packing tape on your boxes, don't try to use masking tape, it won't hold, and your boxes will come open. Disassemble furniture when you can, it will be easier to pack and less likely to break in the move. Keep heavier items on the bottom of the box.
