Prepare For An Open House In Four Easy Steps!
An open house is a great opportunity for potential buyers to tour your home and get lots of eyes on your property at one time. However, there is more to it than just putting a sign up, opening your doors and waiting for people to show.
Below we have listen four important steps to take to ensure your home is ready for a successful open house. Let’s dive in:
-Get your home tour-ready by fixing large and small issues around the house. Buyers want to see the home in good shape and not a costly project around every corner. Taking the time and spending the money to make the repairs prior to an open house will serve you in the long run.
-Cleaning, decluttering and depersonalizing the home should also make the list of prep work before potential buyers walk through the front door. Tasks such as removing valuables, clearing surfaces, organizing closets/drawers and giving the home a deep clean should not be overlooked.
-Don’t forget the outside of the home, as it will be the first impression for potential buyers. Paint the front door, buy new house numbers, hang a wreath, lay a welcome mat, plant some flowers - whatever you need to do to add a little curb appeal and make the front of the home more inviting!
-Make sure to remove all signs of pets. This includes toys, smells and pets themselves during the time of the open house. Even though many people love animals, and there's a chance those in attendance have pets of their own, some people associate pets with wear and tear in a home so it's best to avoid this if possible.
