Having invested in some of the
effort and expense of prepar-
ing your home to sell, youwill
certainlywant it to take full
advantage of it when you open
up your property to prospec-
tive buyers during showings.
That is why making sure your property
looks its very best can give you that little
extra competitive edge that will help get it
sold. Keep in mind that many Realtors have,
through education and experience, mastered
the art of home staging. Make the most of
their skills – and impartiality – to create that
“buying feeling” in your home.
Time-Proven Tips For ShowingYour Home
Here are a few ideas that will help you max-
imize your home’s attractiveness to buyers:

Ideally, you should be
absent so buyers feel
comfortable making
comments
•
Make sure your home
highlight sheets are
easily visible
•
Open all drapes and
shades during day-
light hours to let in as
much light as possi-
ble, but screen out
unappealing views
•
Light the whole
house, especially dark
corners and hallways
•
Showcase your home’s
best features
•
Turn off the television.

bold splashes of color
(with throw pillows,
crockery, pictures,
etc.)

Place fresh flowers
where they’ll stand
out
•
Open all doors be-
tween rooms to give
an inviting feeling
•
If possible, open win-
dows beforehand to
circulate fresh air
