Clear unnecessary objects from furniture.  Keep decorative objects on the furniture in small groups of no more than 5.

clean kitchen is important! Clear refrigerator front of messages, pictures, etc.

Clear away unnecessary or rarely used items from countertops.  Keep appliances clean.

Sparkling bathrooms sell homes! Remove unneeded items from countertops, tubs, shower stalls, commode tops.  Keep only your most needed cosmetics, brushes, etc. in one small group on the counter.  Coordinate towels.

Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary.   Sparsely furnished rooms appear larger.

Make closets look bigger.  Remove and pack away items that can be stored elsewhere.

Take down or rearrange pictures or objects on walls.  Patch and paint if needed.

Repair items like loose doorknobs, leaky faucets, or cracked molding.

Lighting cheers up the home.  Open the drapes or blinds and leave lights and lamps on during showings.

Have the radio on soft background music during the day for showings.

Have a lockbox installed. Very important! If we don't have a key we can't show it
