• Clean the windows/doors

• Give it a through clean
• Put away the cheap odd utensils

• Cover the bed with a lovely newish cover and make it tidy

• Keep bedside lights on if the room is dark

Pets
• Take your pets with you, some buyers do not feel very comfortable with pets
• Put away the dishes of the pets and clean the stain on the floor

Overall
Create nice home ambience is very important.
Put few pot plants, flowers, play beautiful music, keep the lights on, keep the curtains open or neatly arranged, and open the doors for spacious feeling

The Golden Rule of presentation is 3 Cs

Colour – either few simple neutral colours or colours in harmony

The more attractive your property is, the more ready the buyers are going to buy, and the better result you will achieve. Your hard work before open home/inspection will never be done in vain. They add value to your property.
