Show Day! – Pre-Showing Checklist

It’s showtime! You’ve put in the hard work to prepare your home for potential buyers, and now it’s time for the big day. Here’s a handy checklist from Susan Brewer Service First Real Estate to ensure a smooth and successful showing:

Last-Minute Touches:

• Light it Up: Open all curtains and blinds to maximize natural light. Turn on all light fixtures in your home, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
• Fresh Scents: Neutralize any lingering odors with a light air freshener, avoiding overpowering fragrances. Opt for natural scents like vanilla or lavender.
• Temperature Control: Set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature for potential buyers. Ideally, aim for a neutral setting that’s neither too hot nor too cold.

Making a Great First Impression:

• Tidy Up: Do a quick sweep of all rooms, ensuring surfaces are clear and clutter-free. Put away any last-minute items that may have been left out.
• Empty Trash Cans: Empty all trash cans throughout the house, including the bathroom and kitchen. No one wants to see overflowing bins!
• Stage the Entryway: Create a welcoming entry point by straightening out the doormat and ensuring there are no shoes or personal belongings scattered around.

Preparing for Potential Buyers:

• Secure Valuables: Lock away any valuables or important documents that may be left out. This includes jewelry, electronics, and medication.
• Pet Precautions: If you haven’t already, make arrangements for your pets to be elsewhere during the showing. This minimizes distractions for potential buyers and allows them to focus on the home.
• Leave the Showing to Us: Relax and let your Susan Brewer agent handle the showing. They will answer questions, provide information about the property, and guide potential buyers through your home.
