Selling a home is a long and tough process. It can take weeks before it goes on the listing and then even months to successfully close the deal.

Here are some tips to make your home-showing process a smooth and successful one: 

1. Make Your Kitchen Shine

The kitchen is the heart of the home and one of the most significant selling points. You need to ensure that your kitchen looks it’s very best to impress the buyers. Take a look around the space. Are any of the cabinet doors chipping? Are the faucets leaking? Is the counter filled with groceries and appliances? Seeing a kitchen that’s not well maintained can have a negative impact on your buyers. They’ll probably decline the offer because they’ll need to spend some money on renovations. Clean counters, fix minor plumbing issues and keep the kitchen floors spotless for a good impression. 

2. De-personalize Your Space

When buyers walk into a house, they tend to imagine their family and furniture in that space. If your house is filled with pictures of your children or family awards and name posters, they won’t be able to do this.

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to interior décor. Your antique and traditional furniture might not be a modern minimalist’s choice. Keep the décor as simple as possible, so your buyer has a clean canvas for their imagination. If you have a printed couch, use a white color slipcover for the showing.

Remove all your photographs and other belongings. 

3. Declutter 

While you’re de-personalizing, don’t forget to declutter. A house showing is not a furniture exhibition or garage sale. You need to keep your space as empty as possible. The buyers will not be impressed by your collection of mugs or your 20 pairs of shoes. This may only harm the sale. 

Take your time to declutter your space. If you’re moving out, start packing these items for the move. The rest of the stuff can be donated or recycled. Call up a recycling company and leave the rest up to them. 

4. Don’t forget The Smell

As clean and beautiful your house may look, a bad odor can throw all your efforts down the drain. It’s advisable not to fry bacon or fish close to a showing, as the smell can linger around, making your house seem unkempt or unclean.

Another thing to keep in mind is to remove all the junk as soon as possible. Leaving junk lying around can be unsightly and smelly.
