Open House Tips

If your REALTOR® has scheduled an open house, you may want to notify the neighbors, and assure them that they'll be welcome. They'll jump at the chance to poke around in your house, and sometimes they can turn up a buyer among their friends. In preparing for an open house, you should:

  • Pull the drapes back
  • Light lamps
  • Simmer a few drops of vanilla on the stove
  • Light your fireplace
  • Set the dining room or kitchen table if you have particularly nice linen or china
  • Put fresh towels in the bathroom
  • Leave the house so your REALTOR® is free to deal with prospective buyers in a professional manner.
