Preparing your home for a private viewing is essential. These are the things you should focus on...
Clean up
First impression is everything! Clean up your home and make it spotless.
Organize everything, including closets
Don’t forget to check inside your closets and other hidden places. They will want to see everything.
Make Your home cozy and inviting
Add artwork, plants, dried flowers, candles and other things that will make the property feel homey.
Pets
Ask a friend to take care of your pet during the viewing.

These tools don’t know if your kitchen looks like a Pinterest dream or like it hasn’t been touched since 1982. That’s where we humans come in.
