- Remove old, moldy caulk and apply new white caulking around the bathroom.
- Hide or store away wastebaskets.
- Add one new bottle of nice hand soap on the bathroom counter.
- Roll small, light-colored hand towels and place in a basket on the counter.
- Make sure you thoroughly clean around the bathroom. Including the bathtub and even behind the toilet.
- Hang a new, white shower curtain or clean the old one to make it look new again!
- This is a pet peeve for not only most real estate agents but for some homebuyers. Always keep the toilet seat/lid down.
- Quiet doors will go un-noticed but a squeaky door will stand out to a homebuyer. Fix any squeaky doors throughout the home.
Preparing entryway before selling

- One creative way to add personality to the entrance of a home is by adding new attractive house numbers.
- Pack away any shoes or coats that are usually kept at the front door.
- Replace that old, worn-out Welcome mat with a new one.
- Make sure all doors not only open and close easy but that they are also easy to lock and unlock as well.
- If you have pets or if you wear shoes in the house — chances are that your carpet may need to come extra attention. Give your carpet a deep cleaning.
- When packing away items don’t just stick them in closets or in corners behind furniture. Get started early and be creative when decluttering your home.
- Remove any signs of pets so it is not easily noticed by any visitors.
- Sometimes homebuyers like to randomly check windows. Make sure all windows open and close easily.
- When cleaning the house before a showing – make sure you clean and dust ceiling fans too.
