You have inspected your house and taken care of problems. Now you are ready for showings. You will need a plan of action that assigns duties to each family member so the place can quickly be whipped into shape.

•Open all drapes, blinds, etc. and turn on lights to make the house bright.
•Air out the house to get rid of cooking, pet odours, and so on.
•Have fresh flowers in view.
•Pick up clutter, and empty garbage.
•Make sure everything is spotless.
•Set your thermostat at a comfortable level.
•Remove pets from the house or put them outside.
•If you have an agent, leave when the house is being shown. If you are selling it yourself, you need to strike a balance between being helpful and crowding the buyer.
•In poor weather, provide a place for boots, overshoes and umbrellas.
•Display photos of the house in summer to show landscaping if selling in the winter months.
•Leave out heating and hydro bills.
•For those on a septic system and/or well, leave out inspection and maintenance information.
