Home Preparation Guide

Interior: Creating the "Model Home" Look

  • Kitchen Clarity: Clear all countertops. Small appliances (toasters, kettles) should be hidden in cabinets.

  • Bathroom Spa: Toilet lids DOWN. Remove all bottles, sponges, and used towels.

  • Depersonalize: Secure all jewelry and hide family photos. Let buyers imagine themselves living there.

  • Pet-Free Zone: Hide bowls, beds, and toys. (We love pets, but they shouldn't be in the listing!)

Lighting & Ambiance

  • Let There Be Light: Turn on ALL lamps and overhead lights.

  • Stop the Spin: Turn OFF all ceiling fans (moving blades blur in photos).

  • Tech Blackout: Turn OFF TVs and computer screens.

Exterior & Curb Appeal

  • Clear the Stage: Move all cars out of the driveway and away from the front of the house.

  • Yard Cleanup: Hide trash cans, hoses, and pool cleaners.

  • The Finishing Touch: Sweep the porch and arrange patio furniture cushions neatly
