Open houses are starting

Sunday was a great day for an open house with our weather finally being warmer.  Here are some hits for your open house.

-Try not to become emotionally involved when evaluating the condition of your home prior to the open house. .
-Any needed home repairs should be completed before the open house begins.

-Never underestimate the importance of making a good first impression. Many visitors make a decision about the home in the first few seconds.

-It is a good idea to provide cookies, brownies or other snacks for guests at the open house.

-Pets should be kept away from open house visitors. It may be a good idea to have a friend or family member takes care of your pets until the open house is over.
-Be sure to lock up all medications, both prescription and non-prescription. Also be sure to lock up any cash or valuables in the home prior to the open house.
-Make sure that the home is spotless and free of unpleasant odors prior to the open house.

-Be sure the temperature in the home is pleasant. A home that is too hot or too cold can make visitors uncomfortable, and lead them to wonder about the quality of the heating and air conditioning system.
-Always open the curtains and the drapes prior to the open house. This will allow fresh air and sunshine in and help give the impression of a larger space.
-If your home does not have plants, you may want to buy a few before the open house. Plants can provide a warm feel and help make guests at the open house feel more at home.
