Real Estate Glossary

1. Make the House Spotless

Pay particular attention to the bathrooms and kitchen. Scrub baths, showers and sinks. Towels should be washed. Make sure all dishes are put away and counters are freshly cleaned. Make your home look like a new model home.

2. Make it Light and Bright

Open window coverings, such as blinds, curtains, drapes and shutters, to let in maximum sunlight. Turn on lights.

3. Make the House Smell Good

Air out the house to get rid pet and cooking odors. Light candles or bake cookies to make the house smell yummy just before the buyers arrive. (Make sure you turn off the oven and blow out the candles before you leave!!!!)

4. Set the Thermostat to a Comfortable Temperature

Make certain the house is not too hot or too cold. A home that is too hot or too cold can make for a bad experience and the potential buyer may leave prematurely.

5. Keep Fact Sheets Easily Accessible

Ask your agent where to place the flyers for showings and who will be responsible for restocking them.

6. Keep Pets Out-of-Sight

Remove pets from the house or keep them outside. Put up a sign that states "Do not go into backyard. Dogs may bite." (if you have dogs) If your pet must stay at home, put them in a particular room and shut the door. Make sure the agent knows where the animals are.

7. Leave

It is best for the sellers to be away from the house during a showing so that the potential buyers can cruise through the house at their own pace and talk openly about their feelings with each other and their agent. Take the opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy the day. Do errands or take pleasure in a favorite pastime.
