Home Showing Process, Quick Simple Steps!

The home showing process involves quick simple steps! To begin with if a real estate agent is present (the buyer's or your own) let the agents do their work and don't jump in to point out your homes features. They know their buyers and they know what the like. If you are at home when buyers arrive with their agent, grab the family and your pets and take a walk.

If you are at home when an agent and buyers arrive, silence on your part is the best plan of action. Smile through the introductions, and then gather all the family members in one room and remain there throughout the showing. Try to stay out of the kitchen. People like to feel roominess there and look closely at appliances.

Arranging to be out of the house will be relatively easy if the agent has made an appointment with you, but sometimes you'll have a showing on short notice.

Home Showing Process, Quick Simple Steps:

Showing your home on short notice can be difficult, but you can prepare your home in as little as fifteen minutes. Here are some basic steps to follow.

• Turn on all the lights and ceiling fans.
• Make the beds and hang up the clothes.
• Close closet doors.
• Put laundry into baskets in the laundry room (better yet take the laundry in baskets with you.)
• Load the dishwasher.
• Straighten the rugs and fluff up throw pillows.
• Clear surfaces of food products and clutter.
• Remove pets and their food bowls and litter boxes.
• Run the vacuum over rugs and floors.
• Head out of the house!

This can be done easily if, showing or no showing, the house is kept in good order every day. A simple check list will shorten prep time.

Some days will be more difficult than others. Perhaps you oversleep. You don't make the bed when you get out of it, last night's dishes are in the sink, and you feel like your house is a disaster. Make your apologies and show it anyway! It is better to be a little embarrassed than to miss having a potential buyer see the house.

Extra Touches Make The Difference:

The smell of fresh cookies or bread always makes a house more inviting. Baking cookies for an open house is a good idea; everyone can eat the cookies as they tour your home. Don't have time? Then light a cinnamon flavored candle. In the winter, simmer a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, gloves and bay leaves.
