1. Window coverings – While you want to allow lots of light into the home, you also want to show off the window coverings, as these are generally sold with the house. Keep drapes open to the side or tied in the middle with a ribbon, and keep vertical blinds angled open and approximately1/3 of the way closed.

1. Clean up after your neighbours – while you may not be responsible for the mess they’ve made, you are selling your house, as well as the neighbourhood, and this includes neighbours.

1. Don’t smoke in the house – period. This is not just a home staging tip! Even if you do not have immediate plans to sell your home, keep in mind that cigarette smoke gets into every fabric and fibre of your home, and will make the home very difficult to sell in the future.

Power wash decks, fences, driveway, outdoor furniture. If you do not own a power-washer, you can rent one at any big box store. Re-stain wood as needed to ensure that the exterior of your home shines as much as the inside of your home.
