Online: the first showing
- Professional photography, shot in good light with every room ready
- A floor plan, so buyers understand the layout before they visit
- Video or a virtual tour for out-of-town and international buyers
- A description that leads with what makes the home different
Curb appeal
- Clean, trimmed landscaping and a freshly cut lawn
- A clean front door, working lights, and visible house numbers
- A clear entry: no hoses, bins or clutter by the door
Inside
- Open the blinds and turn on every light before a showing
- Set the A/C to a comfortable temperature
- Keep it smelling clean: no strong air fresheners or cooking smells
- Make beds, clear counters, and put pet items away
- Stage key rooms so they show their purpose and scale
During showings
