If you are in the process of selling your home, you will more than likely have hired an estate agent to assist you in the project. This property professional will speed up the sale by placing your home on his or her company's database of potential buyers, and will also post the property on real estate sites such as eurobrix.com.
In addition to these measures, the estate agent will also organise a show house. At a show house — sometimes called an open house –potential buyers come to the home and are shown around by the estate agent who will point out key features and help them to see the best of the property.
It is important that you participate in the success of your show house as well by ensuring the house in mint condition when visitors begin to arrive. It is important that you manage to strike the right balance between cleanliness and homeliness; you want your house sparkling, but not in a clinically disused way.
Hire a company of cleaners to give your house a professional go over. Make sure all surfaces are clean before, and there is clean linen in every room. In order to achieve that homely atmosphere, place fresh flowers in vases on the tables and fruit in bowls.
Clear away all personal clutter like pens, purses and shopping lists which may be lying around, and organise to leave the house yourself as well so the estate agent can get on with selling your home.
