Be Ready on a Moment's Notice

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:

  1. Make all beds, pick up all clothes and toys, and wash and put away the dishes.
  2. Place fresh flowers in several rooms.
  3. Eliminate litter boxes when possible. Clean them daily if they are left on the premises.
  4. Keep the property comfortable by running the air conditioner or heat.
  5. Keep the kitchen counters and refrigerator exterior surfaces clear of clutter.
  6. 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.
  7. Put away your empty garbage cans immediately after garbage pickup.
