SHOW DAYS
Deciding to sell your home is one thing, but getting it ready to be sold is another matter entirely. We recommend these tips for getting your house show day ready:
Advertise

Not only to advertise your home, but your show day too. It is vital for ensuring a successful sale.Declutter This is a great opportunity to slim down what you’ll need to pack up for your move. Declutter now, rather than when you’re packing to move - it’ll make your life simpler in the long run.
Deep clean
That means getting the professionals in to clean the carpets; scrub every surface until it shines and, get every bit of lastminute maintenance done before you open the doors.Deliver an experience
Potential buyers will want to know what it feels like to live in your home, so don’t skimp on the experience. Be tactical in your showcasing - if your kitchen is the highlight of your home, use it to its fullest advantage.Stay safe
Make sure your personal items, valuables, and important possessions are locked away or taken off-site during your show day. Set up your show day on an appointment-only basis.Set your schedule
