You have already prepared your home for sale by decluttering, major How to prepare your home for a showing?cleaning, making sure the lawn, shrubs and flowers beds are well manicured and repairs have been completed. Imagine a guest coming to visit you and what you would do to prepare for this guest.

It is recommended to:

  • Make sure the home is clean. Carpets vacuumed, furniture dusted, bathrooms are clean.

  • Dishes in dishwasher or in the cupboards.

  • Counters clean.

  • Mail neatly stacked.

  • Things in their place, so to speak.

  • Lawn freshly cut.

When your home is prepared, plan to be gone. Go visit family or friends. Go grocery shopping, take a walk or find a quiet spot to read at the local coffee shop. Buyers will feel much freer to examine your home if you are not present.

This is your opportunity to make a great first impression. This is your opportunity to get your home for sale in Lancaster, PA sold.

And plan to remove yourself from the house during the showing. The presence of owners during a showing often stifles open conversation among prospective buyers and between prospective buyers and their agent.

John, yes and thanks for the reminder. I will make that change. I had planned on stating that and forgot. Great reminder.

Mark, great point. Interestingly we cannot assume anything. This seemed rather obvious and you pointed out that it is not.

Cal what a great post. I always tell my sellers make it like a Hotel Room you enter for the first time or "the model home" in a development. You do not see wet towels in the bathroom....

Endre, that is a great analogy. This post actually generated a fabulous amount of ideas, which in the end will make it an even better tool for my clients.
