the space.

Them

thorough pest control done so that
no cockroaches or other insects

inspecting houses.
Nothing can be more unsightly than
these pests up on wall or in kitchen.

not used to pets and may even be
allergic to fur. All signs of having a
pet should be eradicated before
agents bring in prospective buyers.

off for prospective buyers. Don’t

Clear drains, wash bins, open
windows, air the kitchen from
cooking smells, get rid of furniture
that is embedded with cigarette
smoke, and wash grimy bed sheets.
Conversely, good smells can make a
property feel like an alluring home.

23. "Move In“
Home in
Condition

24. Aesthetics are important, but it's
also important that
doors, appliances, repairs, electrica
l and plumbing fixtures be in
working order.
Again, the idea is to have the home
in move in condition and to give
potential buyers the impression that
they will be able to move right in
and start enjoying their new home.
