My home is on the market. What are the next steps?
Deep clean, declutter, and depersonalize to make your home shine for showings. First impressions count — prep inside and out to wow every potential buyer.
Preparing for Showings
At this stage, it’s all about making your home show-worthy. Go above and beyond to highlight the care you’ve put into your space. A well-presented home stands out and gets noticed — especially when competing with other properties on the market.
Showing Prep Tips
-
Invest in a deep clean
Go beyond basic tidying. Consider having your windows and carpets professionally cleaned.
Don’t forget curb appeal — the exterior matters just as much as the interior. -
Spend time de-cluttering
Channel your inner Marie Kondo and minimize visible items. A cleaner space helps rooms feel larger and more inviting. -
Depersonalize the space
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in the home.
Remove large family photos and personal items that could distract from that vision. -
Secure your valuables
Before any showings, remove or lock up valuable items like jewelry, watches, passports, and cash.
