How to Prepare Your Home for an Open House
Share page

First Impressions Matter

Buyers often decide within minutes if your home feels right. Make sure your entryway, yard, and main living spaces are spotless and inviting.

Declutter and Depersonalize

Pack away family photos, extra furniture, and anything that distracts buyers. The goal is to create a neutral space where visitors can imagine themselves living.

Clean Until It Shines

Deep clean carpets, windows, and bathrooms. Don’t forget the small details—light switches, doorknobs, and mirrors should sparkle.

Stage Key Rooms

Focus on the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom. Fresh linens, a few accent pillows, and simple décor can go a long way.

Light It Up

Open blinds and curtains to bring in natural light. Use warm lamps in darker corners to make rooms feel cozy.

Add Simple Touches

Fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit, or lightly scented candles can leave a lasting impression.
