When your house is being shown...

• Keep room draperies and shades open to let light in.
• Turn on porch light and any outdoor lighting if house is being shown at night.
• Keep rooms neat and avoid clutter.  This will make rooms look larger.
• Keep sink and counters clear of dirty dishes.
• Keep all toys in the children’s room, and all bikes, wagons, or skateboards stowed away.
• Turn off radio, stereo, or television.
• Refer any direct inquiries about the house to your real estate agent.  Take advantage of his or her professional skills in selling homes.
• Keep pets outside when you house is being shown.
• Avoid talking to Buyer’s Agent and let the agent do the talking  Answer candidly if asked a direct question.
