You only get one first impression, which is why it’s important to appropriately prepare for your Open Home. Keep the interiors and exteriors clean and clutter-free to appeal to prospective buyers, and keep personal touches to a minimum to allow potential buyers to see themselves living there. Ambient touches such as pulling back curtains and blinds to fill rooms with natural light and opening windows for fresh air are an important touch, while flowers add to the welcoming feel and are a pleasant fragrance to eliminate any food or pet odours that may be off-putting.

When selling your house, it’s essential that it’s in good repair and presents well. A fresh coat of paint and a few minor fixes can make a considerable difference to buyer interest and achieving a successful sale.
