Certain changes can improve the feel of your home for prospective buyers, the question is which ones? There are simple, yet important tasks that should be done before showing a home. Visual appearance creates a strong impression to the buyers. Refining the landscaping will improve the initial impression of the home, such as mowing the lawn, trimming the bushes, pulling out the weeds in the garden. Remove boxes, toys, yard tools, old projects, and anything that can be thought of as a distraction. Organizing the closets, storage areas and garage will reduce clutter and open up the house to viewing. Buyers will want to look into these areas, so a clean organized area should be presented. Placing extra nick-knacks and furniture in storage might be a good idea to maintain simplicity and order in the house.

Washing the windows gives the notion of a clean and well-maintained home. It also emphasizes the light and warmth of the house with a clear view to the outdoors. More light means the rooms will look bigger, warmer, and more appealing. Having the front door freshly painted or replaced creates a striking first impression of the home even before entering. Keeping the common areas clean is imperative to buyers comfort and improves the feel of the maintenance of the house.

Another feeling to appeal to is the sense of a fresh, warm, lived-in feel. Have cookies available for an open house or fresh flowers on the table for showings. Before the buyers arrive turn on all lights, both inside and out, open curtains, drapes and blinds, put on soft music in the background and clean up any mess. These few tips will increase your chances of a home buyer coming back for a second look.
