Before you put your house on the market, your listing agent will advise you on how to make your home more marketable. Below is a checklist to keep your home market ready on a daily basis:
- Make all beds, pick up all clothes and toys, and wash and put away the dishes.
- Place fresh flowers in several rooms.
- Eliminate litter boxes when possible. Clean them daily if they are left on the premises.
- Keep the property comfortable by running the air conditioner or heat.
- Keep the kitchen counters and refrigerator exterior surfaces clear of clutter.
- Make sure bathrooms and fixtures are spotless and free of mildew. Use a mildew killing agent on a daily basis. Bathrooms should be clean with toiletries stowed out of sight.
- Put away your empty garbage cans immediately after garbage pickup.
