Things to do before your show your house around

• Eighty six the clutter in hiding spots! Buyers love to look behind your doors, in closets and basements.

• Do away with dead plants and unwanted vegetation and weeds.

• Fix the cosmetic flaws.

• Re-grout tile walls and floors.

• Replace light fixtures, dated faucets and the knobs and handles on your kitchen cabinets.

• Pack anything that won't be used between now and moving day. Don’t store the boxes near the high traffic areas.

• Deep Clean Carpets and discard worn out carpet. Make the surface floors shine.

• Don't commence with any major renovations during the days when you have put up your house for sale. The chaos in your home may just turn out to be a big turn off for the potential buyers.
