10 Ways to Make Your Home Irresistible at an Open House

So you have an open house scheduled.  Its advertised all over the internet and social media.  Flyers are printed and distributed.  Neighbors have been called.  You asked your friends and family to tell everyone.  In preparation for the big event, here are 10 ways to make your home irresistible at an open house.

Take one or two large pieces of furniture out of the main rooms to create a spacious feel.  You don’t want to have that over sized living room set crammed into a small room.  You want to create a nice flow and room to move around

Put away all the kitchen appliances and personal bathroom items to free up counter space.  We don’t want to clutter the counters because it will give the sense that there is no counter space to prep on

If you have a working fireplace, start a small fire for ambiance.  If you don’t have a working fireplace or don’t generally use it, place a nice candle display or a basket of flowers to draw your attention to it

Depersonalize the rooms by making sure that your family photos, mementos, and distinctive artwork are not displayed.  We are not showing your memories and family, we are showing your house.  No need for things that could distract potential buyers

If you have a sprinkler system for your yard, turn the system on for about 30 minutes to give the lawn a nice sparkle when the sun hits it.  If you don’t have a sprinkler, you can always hit it with the hose to achieve the same effect
