Open House Ready

Selling your home can be an exciting yet stressful time during your life. The way your house is presented during the open house can make or break an offer from a potential buyer. Here are a few tips that can make an open house a bit easier and even lead to a great offer. 
Boost curb appeal -  Sometimes people won't even stop by to view the inside pf your home because they think it probably isn't even worth looking into because of the outside presentation. A few ways to improve the outside of your home is by Washing your front windows, mowing the lawn, power washing siding and walkways and even repainting the porch floor. 
Get your house spotless - not only do you need clean counters and shinny floors. you also need gleaming windows and a scrubbed grout. This is probably one of the cheapest and easiest things everyone in the family can help with. 
All clutter must go - all clutter must go, and that's the end of it. This could also lead to a loss of a sale. Not only is it to much clutter, it also makes your home seem smaller. So if you are serious about selling get rid of all excess and unnecessary things in the house. Using an offsite storage or borrowing storage from a friend or family member can make this transition easier.  
Open your closets - It is almost guaranteed that your visitors will peek inside closets and pantries. Use this as a selling point for your home. Even if this means storing some things in boxes or offsite, aim to have about 25 percent of open space. This will give an impression that the areas are spacious. 
Extra rooms -  If you have an extra bedroom that you use as a dump for everything else or it's simply vacant, clean it up! Think if things your potential buyers would like to see like an office apace or an extra guest bedroom. 

most importantly, enjoy the process. Even though it may seem like a lot of work, it is definitely an experience to enjoy.
