Checklist: Open House Made Easy

Give Homebuyers a Positive First Impression

Homebuyers typically form their impression of a house within the first few minutes of entry. That’s why it’s important for you to take steps to ensure that they get a positive first impression of your house. Here’s a checklist of things to do in preparation for an open house:

Keep pets out of the way.
Open drapes and turn on lights.
Make the exterior presentable (clean sidewalks and driveways, mow the lawn).
Turn off the TV. Turn on soft music.
Bake cookies in the oven or put out flowers to make sure it smells nice.
Depending on the season, have a fire in the fireplace or put on the air conditioning.
Put out refreshments such as coffee, cider, or lemonade.
