General Showing Best Practices

Keep the Home in Show Ready Condition

Be sure to keep the home in great shape (especially cleaning) throughout the listing process.

  • It's ideal to have the home in great shape before a showing, but because some showing requests could be with under 5 minutes notice, it's also best while your home is listed for you to have it in semi-show ready condition as much as possible. Sometimes it's that <5 minute notice showing or no showing at all from that buyer.

  • If you have rugs or a carpet

    • While some stains are better removed with differing products depending on the stain type, one good one I recommend for many stains is Carbona Oxy Powered Carpet Cleaner. Its weakest link is the brush attached, but a 3rd party brush is an easy fix, & the cleaning product itself is excellent. Also, don't forget to try to soak up the residue after a deep clean to eliminate both the cleaning and the original bad odor present as well as colors that could remain otherwise.


Also, if you originally intended on doing some things for the house before listing, consider doing them after listing. Sometimes sellers "give up" on their efforts toward sprucing their house up after it goes live, but that's not a best practice.
