Before Your House Is Shown

• Tag or remove items not included in sale (i.e. water conditioner, chandeliers and drapes).
• Open shades and curtains to let in light.
• Turn on lights so home is well-lit during showing.
• At night, turn on porch light and outdoor lighting.
• Tidy all rooms. Neatness makes a room easier to view.
• Clean dirty dishes in the sink and put away any dishes on counter.
• Keep toys in the children's rooms.
• Put away items in the yard such as bicycles, gardening tools and skateboards.

While Your House Is Being Shown

• When possible, leave while the property is shown. If you are present, remain in an area not being shown by the sales associate.
• Let the real estate expert show your house. Answer questions candidly when asked, but avoid questioning potential buyers.
• Refer inquiries about potential showings to your Realtor to take advantage of the agent's professional skills in selling your home.
• Don't mention items you wish to dispose of unless asked.
• It is best to be away when your agent is holding an open house.
• Keep pets outdoors or in one area.
• Keep children quiet and in one area.
• Keep radio, stereo or TV on a low volume setting.
• Keep money and other valuable items out of sight.
