Uncommon Tips For Making Your Home Show Better

Most people know the basics of preparing a home for a viewing or an open house. But, there are a number of lesser known tips — tips you often don’t hear about — that can make your home even more attractive and desirable to potential buyers.

In the kitchen, for example, it’s obvious that the stove, sink, and countertops should be spotless. But, did you know that grinding a lemon just before a viewing will help eliminate any lingering odours? You should also arrange the contents of your cabinets and refrigerator to all face forward.

In the bathrooms, make sure the toilet lids are closed. Hang matching towel sets.

Moving onto the bedrooms, check that nothing is lying around. Even a shirt draped neatly over a chair can appear messy to some people.

In the kids’ rooms, the toys should be “staged”, not just flung around. If possible, move half the contents of all closets into storage. This makes a big difference in how spacious they’ll appear.

And here’s another uncommon tip. House plants look their best — brighter, more upright and alive — approximately four hours after you water them.

All these tips take just minutes to implement, but they can make a big difference in how your home shows. Studies prove that a well prepped home will often sell faster, and for a higher price, so it’s worth the effort.
