Now that you’ve got your house listed, it’s time for your first showing. The first step is similar to preparing for listing photos and videos: you want to make sure everything’s clean. Make sure you declutter and get rid of as much as possible. Depending on your comfort level, you may also want to de-personalize your home. If you don’t want your children’s photos in your house, now’s the time to take them down. Make your house feel big by allowing as much light in as possible. Before the showing, make sure when you’re leaving your house that you have all the window blinds open and all the lights turned on.
