The presentation of your property at the time of an inspection is critical to the success of the sales process. In order to create the best impression, we suggest that you implement the following ideas:
• Keep rooms well ventilated and fresh
• Eliminate odours by brewing fresh coffee or using
odour neutralizers
• Ensure temperature is comfortable – in the winter use
the heater; in the summer, use the air-conditioner
• Utilize natural light by opening all curtains and blinds
• Turn on the lights in any dark areas
• Ensure all the beds are made
• Clean up any toys, dishes or shoes and put away
• If you have pets, remove them from the property
• Place fresh flowers around your home
• Play soft background music
• Take out the rubbish
• Remove any washing from the washing line and
put it away
• Do not leave your dishwasher, washing machine
or dryer on
• Ensure your valuables are in a safe place
• Wherever possible, leave your home during the
inspection to allow viewers to feel comfortable
