- Keep colors neutral.
- Avoid patterned wallpaper whenever possible.
- Vacuums, dishwasher or lawn mowers should not be on during a showing.
- Barking dogs or noisy children can also disturb buyer’s attention.
- The smell of cleanliness is important. Lemon oil or lemon wax can help to create a lasting scent of freshness.
- For a real heart-warming touch, place a dish of vanilla in a warm oven to create the aroma of fresh-baked cookies.
- Open drapes and blinds and turn on lights prior showing
|

Kitchen |
 |
Perhaps the most important room in house. Always keep it spotless and smelling fresh.
TIP: Put a quarter section of a lemon in the disposal and grind it up. If your cabinets are old try to replace the knobs. Create an uncluttered look removing small appliances from the countertops |
Living Room |
 |
Buyers look for elegant and impressive living rooms where they can entertain their relatives and friends.
Carpet and Rugs should be cleaned. Use lemon oil on hardwood furniture. Liberal use of fresh flowers and plants will enhance the environment. |
Bathrooms |
 |
It is also an important selling feature. So first keep all your personal care articles out of sight. Replace the towel racks and the toilet seat if they don’t look good anymore. Place a vase of fresh flower on the vanity, and keep new towels on the rack. |
Bedrooms |
 |
They can easily turn off a buyer!
Make sure the bedrooms are absolutely spotless. Rugs should be cleaned, windows washed and smell fresh. TIP: Organize your closet to increase their perceived size. |
Garage/Laundry/Attic |
 |
If those rooms are used for storage try to keep everything in boxes. For a neat and organized look. Clean any appliances that you keep in those areas. Make sure there are no signs of pest infestation, and check if the lights are working. |
Pool/Spa Area |
 |
Replace broken tiles in the pool. Check if the equipment is in good operating condition. The pool and the spa should always be sparkling clean. Tip: Diamond Brite your pool for a little $$ and we can sell it for lots of $$$$. |
