  • Clean all appliances, sinks and countertops
  • Remove magazines, books and other personal items from all surfaces. Organize mail, magazines and newspapers. Be clutter free!

  • Clear off kitchen counters, make sure there are no dishes in the sink

  • Vacuum and sweep the floors

  • Make all beds and put away any laundry that is out

  • Empty waste baskets and trash if visible

  • In the yard: Remove or organize all children’s toys, garden tools and hoses

  • During daylight open all draperies, shades, and blinds. Natural light is at the top of most buyers' wish lists.

  • Clean and freshen bathrooms, put toilet seat lids down and fold towels

  • Pets should be out of sight or taken with you. Any pet beds, bowls or cat boxes should be removed as well.

  • Tidy up closets, especially the floor area (makes them look bigger)

  • Leave lights on if after dark
