    Tips

    So you are having an Open House?  Here are a few things to remember.
     
    1.Clean and repair your home. It should go without saying, but clean your house as if you were going to eat off the floors. Also, consider making minor cosmetic repairs and upgrades such as touching up paint and planting fresh flowers.
     

    2.De-clutter. Put away the Crystal collection, toys and things lining the bathroom and kitchen counters.  A crowded house makes it look smaller and makes it harder for buyers to imagine it as their own.

     

    3.De-personalize. Take down family photos, trophies and other personal touches. Buyers need to imagine the house as a blank slate, ready to become their home.

    4.Promote heavily.  Make sure your open house is listed on the MLS and on other Internet sites such as Realtor.com, Expo or Craigslist.com.  Post lots of pictures, send out flyers, put up lots of signs.
