Val Vista Lakes Home for Sale, How to Prepare for Showing
Showing Preparation
Have a minimum one-hour showing notice. That gives you plenty of time to do a last minute tidy up.
If you need to block certain hours, have me put those hours in the MLS listing so the buyers agents will have advance notice. A minimum of of one hour notice is very reasonable for the buyer and buyers agent.
Keep your Val Vista Lakes home generally in showing condition all the time so you can do the last minute preparations quickly. I know this may not be as easy as it sounds for Val Vista Lakes home owners who have a busy life with jobs, school children, and all the related activities. However, keep this in mind, the harder you work to keep the home in showable condition, the quicker you will probably get your Val Vista Lakes home sold and put all of this inconvenience behind you.
Have Your Val Vista Lakes Home Ready When Buyers Arrive
Turn on all the lights in the house, including the bath rooms, closets, pantry, garage and porch lights. If you have under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, turn those on, and also turn on all the lamps. Be sure to open all the drapes and blinds. A well lighted home shows much better than a dark house; you cannot have too much light in the home. Have all the fans on to circulate the air.
If it is summer time, then the fans will be set so they blow the air downwards to circulate the hot air that accumulates at the ceiling level. If it is winter time, then the air flow switch should be set to reverse, so the fans blow the air upwards, and that moves the hot air at the ceiling level so that it circulates and warms the room.
Scheduling Your Val Vista Lakes Home Showing
Have your listing agent, preferably Capain Bill, receive all phone calls from buyers agents wanting to schedule a showing of your 
Val Vista Lakes home. Your agent can coordinate the schedule with you and give the buyers agent any necessary showing instructions. This takes some stress off of you in dealing with the buyers agents. It also gives me the opportunity to ascertain the buyers interest and establish a friendly relationship with the agent, which will be of value to us in the event we begin to negotiate an offer.
On researching the MLS showing instruction sheets, I notice that probably 99% of showing instructions tell buyer agents to contact the seller to make the showing appointment. This procedure places the buyer agent in direct contact with the seller where the buyers agent has the opportunity to attempt to get information from the seller that can be used to the buyers advantage in negotiations. It also means the listing agent loses the opportunity to get information about the buyer agent that can be to the sellers advantage.
