HOW TO HANDLE HAVING A SHOWING WITH ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO SPARE!

 

When your home is on the market, you may not always have hours to spare before a showing.  Here are a few sneaky tips that will help you get your home showing-ready in just minutes:

 

  • Pick up any dirty laundry.  You can always hide laundry in the washer or dryer if you are short in time.
  • Keep one cabinet in your kitchen empty at all times so you can quickly toss counter top clutter in and shut the door.
  • Grab a laundry basket and fill it with toys, books, magazines, shoes (anything that doesn’t belong in a room).  Then toss the whole basket in a closet or garage.
  • Use a dry microfiber cloth to run over dusty furniture.  They need no cleaning products to work, so you save a step.
  • Open the blinds and window coverings.  Natural light can make a room look completely different.
  • Do a quick vacuum of carpet in heavy traffic areas.
  • Keep a container of pre-moistened cleaning wipes in every bathroom.  All you have to do is a quick wipe down and throw them away.
  • Keep a small roll of trash bags in the bottom of every small trashcan.  Then you can just yank out the one with trash in it and place a new one in the can in just seconds.  No running to search for new bags.

Great thoughts.  I also share that de-cluttering makes it easier to get ready, less stuff equals less to pick up.  :)
