The day of your open house can be stressful, but preparation is key. Use this checklist to ensure your property is shown in its best possible light.

The Ultimate Prep List

  • Entryway Appeal: Sweep the porch and add a fresh welcome mat.

  • Secure Valuables: Hide jewelry, prescriptions, and sensitive documents in a locked safe.

  • Climate Control: Set the temperature to a comfortable level 1 hour before the start.

  • Pet Patrol: Remove pets, bowls, and litter boxes from the premises.

  • The Final Walkthrough: Check that all toilet lids are down and trash cans are empty.

Following these steps helps you stay organized and reduces last-minute panic.
