Bring nature into the home to create a sense of homeliness and evoke a feeling of contentment.Fresh flowers or a bowl of fresh fruit work well for this.
Keep your home at a moderate temperature, which will encourage potential Buyers to stay longer in the comfortable surroundings.Make use of a fireplace or a heater during winter, or a ceiling or standing fan during summer.
If you have pets, make sure you take them out for the day.The purpose of the visit is for a Buyer to view the property as a potential investment and it is a good idea to remove potential distractions from the show house environment.
