TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS

Before a home showing, make sure to turn on all of the lights in your home. This will help create a bright and welcoming environment and make your home feel more inviting to potential buyers.

Comfortable Temperature

Make sure to control the temperature in your home during home showings, so that potential buyers are comfortable. In the summer, make sure the air conditioning is on and in the winter, make sure the heat is on.

Make Your Home Smell Good

The way your home smells can make a big impression on potential buyers. Consider using scented candles or air fresheners to create a pleasant and inviting scent in your home.

Keep Your Home Clean

During home showings, make sure your home is clean and tidy. Put away any clutter or personal items that could distract from the potential buyer’s ability to imagine themselves living in your home.

Be Flexible with Scheduling

Try to be as flexible as possible with scheduling showings, so that you can accommodate potential buyers’ schedules. This will help to ensure that you reach as many potential buyers as possible.
