When it comes time to prep your house for your first open house event, make sure to look at it through the eyes of a possible buyer.
Be certain that the whole home is orderly and that it appears welcoming. Turn on the majority of the lights in the home to make sure that each and every room appears appealing and cozy. Where you are able to, do some staging. This might include placing some reading material out on a coffee table, or placing a bouquet of fresh flowers on the dining room table.
