Make It Light & Bright!
Make lighting in your home the "welcome sign" for homebuying prospects. Please turn on all the exterior and interior lights, including accent & picture lights.

Avoiding The Crowds
If there are too many people around during a showing, potential buyers will feel like intruders and want to hurry through your home. Take a nice drive or walk with the kids while your house is being shown.

Shhhhhh!
When your home is being shown, have all TVs turned off. Turn the stereo off, too, or put on soft classical music. Let Ann and your prospective buyers talk calmly without having to yell over any noise.

Having Pets Around The House...
...is wonderful, except when showing your house. Can spotty or Tigger go for a drive, too?

This Is Not A Social Call
If you're present, be courteous and friendly, but don't force conversation with potential buyers. They're there to inspect your house, not to be social. Let Ann show your home and do all the talking.

Nor Is It A Garage Sale
Don't try to sell potential buyers any of the furnishings that you don't want to take with you. They haven't even bought your house yet. It could jeopardize the sale.

Trust Ann To Do It Right
Let Ann negotiate with the buyers about price, terms, possession date, etc. She has the knowledge and experience necessary to get YOU the best deal.
