Las Vegas Home Showing Guidelines
Here are some simple tips for better home showings.
1. Clear the counters in your Las Vegas homes and remove clutter. Keep the garage clean. Get rid of pieces of paper including old newspapers and magazines. Remove out-of-season clothes that are occupying too much space in your closets. Keep that excess furniture away, too.
2. Clean the windows and screens to let more light into your home. Replace heavy curtains with sheer ones to further brighten up your living areas.
3. Keep everything in your house extra clean. Keep in mind that you need to make a very good first impression to your prospective buyers. This also gives a message that the property is properly cared for. Clean the refrigerator as well as the stove. Make sure that there is no fingerprint on light switch plates. Keep the doorknobs and address number sparkling. Mop and wax your floors. You don’t really need to hire cleaning services to but if you can afford it, then go ahead and hire one.
4. Eliminate any foul odors in your Las Vegas home. To eliminate cooking odors, pet smell and smoke, clean the carpet as well as the drapes. Always open the windows especially in the morning to let fresh air in. You can make use of air fresheners or scented candles.
5. Illuminate the rooms. Replace all busted bulbs in your closets. To brighten up the rooms and basement, you may need to use higher wattage bulbs. Keep the walls clean or wash it with fresh coat of paint.
6. Fix all the minor problems. Dripping faucets, torn screen, sticky doors or cracked caulking should not be disregarded and should be repaired immediately for buyers may think that you are not maintaining the home properly.
7. Clean the yard. Mow the lawn, rim the bushes, clean those gutters and rake the leaves to keep your yard looks clean and to add curb appeal, you can put a pot of flowers near the entrance of your property and/or doorway.
8. Add a centerpiece on each table. You can put flowers in a vase or even fruits that have bright colors.
9. Put fresh new towels, curtain and fancy guest soaps in the bathroom. As much as possible, you have to make your buyer fell pampered when they enter your bathroom. Dont forget to put your personal toiletry items out of sight.
10. Leave the Las Vegas homes when it’s going to be shown to an interested party. If your agent shows up with prospective buyers, it is usually best if you leave the house because it will be an awkward situation for buyers if they express their opinions when they look into your closets while you are there. Just make sure that you have all your valuables, money and jewelry locked up before you leave your home.
