Agents from many real estate firms will wish to show your home. It is important that the home appear attractive and clean. The following tips will help ensure a smooth showing:

• Please allow any agent who calls to show your home at the suggested time. It is best to allow a lockbox to be installed on your door
• Open all draperies and window shades during daylight hours. Your home will look bright, cheerful and sunny. Turn on lights in any poorly lit room to include bathrooms and basements
• For an evening showing, turn on every light in the house, to include the bathrooms
• The following items are important for creating a pleasing first impression: fresh flowers in abundance on the kitchen table, a fire in the fireplace on chilly days, sparkling bathrooms and kitchen, home aired and fresh smelling and your favorite pet confined or restricted
• Keep your yard and shrubs neatly trimmed and well watered
• All jewelry and small valuables should be stored in a safety deposit box or in a locked closet
• If possible, try to step outside while your home is being shown and take your dog with you. If the agent has a question, they will find you. Do not oversell your property
• Let me know where you can be reached at all times. If you plan to be out of town, please leave a number where you can be reached
