Mississauga
Open every window covering. All drapes, curtains and blinds should be positioned to let in maximum light. Buyers like a house to be "light and bright," so accommodate them! Turn on as many lights as possible.
Make sure the house smells good. Baking cookies, often recommended, may be overdoing it, but pet odors, smoke, or greasy cooking odors definitely will not work! Air out the house just before the scheduled showing, but close the windows (unless it is a perfect day) before they arrive.

Six very important words: no clutter, no clutter, no clutter!
Make sure that everything is spotless. Pay particular attention to the bathrooms and the kitchen. In the bathrooms, towels should be fresh and clean, sinks and baths scrubbed, and the floor freshly cleaned. In the kitchen, make sure all dishes are put away and countertops and sinks cleaned.
Preparing Your House-Interior
If you get the buyer into the house, it is important to make their visit as pleasant as possible--and that means having the whole house ready. You want them to be as comfortable as possible, and to linger in the home. A "turn off" will send them scurrying quickly to the next house on their list!

Room by Room
Entry Must be especially inviting for your guests (your potential buyers). Make certain it is well lit, clean and has nothing laying around either inside or outside. Paint the front door if it even remotely needs it.

If you normally use a back or side entrance to your house, pay particular attention to the front entry. You rarely see it but this is where the buyers will enter!

Living Room or Great Room
Family Room or Den
If this is the room you live in the most, make it look inviting but not overly lived in.

Keep furniture at a minimum but make the room look like a comfortable place to spend time.

Kitchen
Bedrooms
Remove all clutter. If you don't need it, store it or pitch it!
Arrange or remove furniture to maintain good traffic flow through rooms. Remember, there may be three or four people in each group that walk through your house.

Bathrooms
Make sure all bulbs are working and have the highest wattage available and safe for each fixture. Brighter is better!
Clean all ceramic tile. Check the grout for cleanliness and deterioration.
If faucets drip, fix them.
Thoroughly clean sinks and tubs. If rust spots are on the porcelain, attempt to remove them.
Remove any evidence of mildew from the shower and bathtub. Products are available that spray on and quickly kill the mildew.

Basements
If the basement is damp or musty, consider a dehumidifier.
Give prospective buyers room to move around. Clutter...well, you know the drill!

Garages
Remove all junk: broken tools, old car parts, toys from the 1960's, etc.
If floor has oil marks, clean it (cleaning solutions are available at most home improvement stores and work with a normal garden hose).
Miscellaneous
Replace the furnace filter.

Showing property
Showtime!
Your house has been checked, inspected, and cleaned from top to bottom. You have priced it at what you feel is a fair price. The marketing and advertising program is in full swing. Now it is time to put all of the preparation into action: showings! All of the work that you have done up to this point will only have an effect when a buyer walks into your house for the first time.

Showing Your House To Maximum Advantage
Give all family members assigned jobs in advance that will go into action when a short-notice showing is scheduled. Everyone must know their duties and carry them out, so that you don't end up banging into one another trying to get everything done quickly.
