 Here’s what to do and expect when showing your home:

1.       Move out

·         Clients with children or pets, its less disruptive if they temporary move out so the agent can book more appointments and it’s easier to get around the house when you’re showing it.

2.       Stop cooking

·         It better to have fresh smelling house because a house that smells like food might distract them.

3.       Board the pets

·         When showing a house it’s better to have pets away from house because pets can smell and some people might assume the house is dirty because owner of the house has pets or another reason is they don’t like pets.

4.       Keep it kid-friendly

·         For clients with babies, there should be restrictions on showing times to respect the child’s daily routines.

·         Also, have toys for the babies to play with so that can keep them entertained.

5.       Don’t hide anything

·         Don’t try to hide something dirty or broken because trust me people look everywhere and notice everything.

6.       De-clutter

·         Staging is important it make the house look more sellable and attractive. Pack all non-essential items including clothing, coats, shoes and furniture and box them up and place them in a storage facility.

The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016.
