If your home is on the market, and you are ready to find the right buyer, home showings are an effective way to encourage interest and get more offers. When selling a home, use these tips to prepare for a showing and make your house stand out. 

4 Tips for Showing Your Home

1. Maintain Your Curb Appeal

Your home’s exterior leaves a strong first impression, so make sure it’s more than just presentable. Make sure that your roof is updated, your gutters are clean, and your yard is free of weeds. The driveway and walkways should be cleared of any debris. Buy a doormat and place some flower pots on your front steps.  

2. Clear Any Clutter

Interested buyers will look in your closets and cabinets, so they should be organized. To create more space in your home, consider putting some of your items into storage. 

3. Use Air Freshener & Candles

Smells are closely linked to emotions. You can create a welcoming environment by using candles and air fresheners throughout your home. Use a citrus or floral candle in the bathroom, and a cozy scent in the living room. Put a batch of cookies in the oven right before a showing.  

4. Use Your Lighting Wisely

Fill your home with as much natural light as possible. You should match your lighting to the season. Open the windows in the spring, and dim the lights in the winter.
