If you're thinking of selling your Ottawa Real Estate Property, there are a number of things you will do to boost the "show ability" of your Ottawa Home for Sale. But first, let's consider your home through the eyes of the client.
Inside:
1) Open the window coverings and let the sun shine in. Window coverings ought to be clean in order that they're not unclean. Have your windows professionally clean - you will not believe the difference!
2) Turn on all lights - day or night. Clean all light bulbs, lighting fixtures and chandeliers. where practical, install higher power light bulbs to more brighten your home.
3) Produce the illusion of spaciousness, take away all clutter from every room to visually enlarge them (imagine a builder's model home). Improve traffic flow and build a feeling of spaciousness by removing unnecessary furniture, knick-knacks, hobby things, children's items, etc. Organize your closets and cupboards, take away unnecessary things and place them in storage. Rent a storage area if required, or pack it within the garage. You are going to move anyway -- begin now!
4) Light your fireplace during the winter.
5) Keep your home dusted and vacuumed.
6) Have a family "game plan" to urge the house in show condition quickly - everybody ought to have an appointed task.
7) Take away all smoke odors, pet odors, and odors ensuing from hobbies. Once possible, air out your home before the showing. Lightly spray room freshener in order that it has a chance to diffuse before the client arrives.
8) Confirm that beds are made.
9) Bathrooms ought to be kept clean, toilet lids down, no hair within the sink. Don’t leave dirty towels out; wipe down the shower areas when every use. Repair or replace broken tiles on walls, floors or in showers/tubs. Recaulk if the caulking is chipped and/or stained. Put out recent towels and decorative soap for showings.
10) Fix dripping taps, take away rust stains from basins.
Outside:
Remove dying plants or keep them out of sight. Keep the yard mowed, raked, weeded, fertilized and watered. Trees and shrubs ought to be pruned and trimmed.

Take away all toys, bicycles, tools, unattractive patio furniture, trash, etc., from the yard. Out of doors furniture ought to be kept clean.
Porches, steps, verandas, balconies, patios and other extensions of the house should be kept uncluttered, swept and in good condition. Keep trashcans deodorized, coated and out of sight.
