It doesn’t cost much to make a few simple changes that can make all the difference.

• First impressions last. A fresh coat of paint on the walls, ceilings and woodwork can transform the look of a home.
• Declutter! Don’t use a wardrobe or closet to hid all of life’s debris. Viewers are looking at making this house their home so they WILL be looking everywhere!
• A welcoming smell in the house is a great bonus when you open the door. Open the windows on the morning of the viewing. A pot of coffee smells great. Strong scented candles are a big no.  They can become overpowering.
• A tidy front lawn is a great advantage. Trim the hedges and grass. Weed the flower beds. A little TLC makes a huge difference
• Try to avoid confusing the purpose of the rooms. If you have an “office space” in the corner of the kitchen, please remove it temporarily.  It takes from the available space and feel of the room.
• The kitchen is the heart of the home. Clear the counter tops.  Older kitchens can look brand new with a coat of paint. Only leave small appliances like a coffee machine, kettle and toaster on the counter tops.
• Secure all valuables!
