A bright home is like a welcome sign. The potential buyer will feel the warmth of your home.
If you turn on all your lights for the evening inspection. Don't forget the porch lights. |

Three's a crowd. Avoid having too many people in the home during the showing.
The potential buyer will feel like an intruder and will hurry through your home. |

When showing your home, turn down the television and any loud music.
Allow buyers to enjoy the warmth of your home free from disturbance. |

Keep pets out of the way, preferably out of the house. Not everyone shares your love of pets.
Don't forget to clean the kitty litter box and deodorize it. |

Keep out of sight if possible. Be courteous and friendly with the potential buyer.
He wants to inspect your home, not make a social call. Don't let your kids tag along. |
