For a Quicker Sale, Make Sure Your House is The Best it Can Be!
"We don't get a second chance to make a Good First Impression. Most buyers look for homes that are Clean and Spiffy!"

Help Your Realtor:
  • For showings, please be out of the house if possible
  • Turn on lights for showing
  • Strong odors can ruin a sale. Make sure your home smells fresh.
  • Yes, you may love your pets, but prospective buyers may not feel as comfortable with animals. Try to remove them for showings.
  • Place 'highlight sheets' where they will be seen
  • Have your home ready 15 minutes prior to appointment
  • Please accommodate scheduling if possible
Super Critical Items:
  • Kitchen: stove, refrigerator and sink should be spotless. Workspace and counters clean.
