1. 5 Best Ways to
Prepare Your
Candlewood Lake
Home for a Showing

2. When buyers looking for Candlewood Lake
and Lake Lillinonah properties come to look
at your home, you need to make an effort to
show your property at its best. Remember
that when it comes to selling a home,
presentation matters. Go all out to impress
buyers. With correct preparation, you can sell
your home fast and for the best price.

4. Here are some easy
tips on how to prepare
your home for a
showing:

5. 1. Boost your drive by appeal
Buyers of Candlewood Lake real estate will surely make a
drive-by visit to your home before deciding whether or
not to schedule a viewing. Make sure to clean up the
exterior of your home, mow the lawn, or have the snow
cleared from the driveway and walkways, trim the
hedges, and remove any weeds from beds or pathways to
make a great first impression. Giving your door and
window frames a fresh coat of paint will also make buyers
want to come in to your home.

6. 2. Clear space and create order
Expect that buyers of Candlewood Lake homes will want
to see every room in your home. Make an effort to clear
up and maximize every space in your home. Spend some
time in sorting items especially in kids’ rooms so they
won’t look like war zones. Buyers may also want to look
in cupboards and lofts so make sure that these spaces are
in order, too. Keep in mind that your plan is to move so
pack up family photos, extra decorator items and
furniture that makes the room to cluttered.

7. 3. Inspect your home
Before buyers arrive for a showing, check your home to
make sure that is safe. Fix any loose rails or steps. Inspect
electrical items, faucets, toilets and windows to see if they
are in working condition. Ensure that all built-in
appliances are functioning properly. You may also get a
professional whole house inspection to uncover any
major problems or defects. A professional inspection will
also make buyers see that you are a responsible seller.

8. 4. Turn the bathroom to a spa
Buyers will be impressed with a relaxing and luxurious bath.
To create a spa-like bathroom, stack a few pretty washcloths
tied with ribbons. You may also add some faux plants and
scented candles. Your bathmats and towels should also be in
coordinating tones such as light green, blue and white. Don’t
forget to clear away accumulated toiletries, medication and
make up in the bathroom and make sure that the bathroom is
spotlessly clean. Also, be sure to remove any towels that are in
use for the showings. Remember that bathrooms are often
times the second biggest selling feature of a home.

9. 5. Set the mood
To set the right mood in your home, open the blinds and
turn on every light in the house. Remember that a dark
room can turn off potential buyers. If it is available, allow
the aroma of a fresh pot of coffee or fresh batch cookies to
permeate the home (easiest is to simmer a pan of vanilla
extract on the stove top). You may also turn on the radio
and set it to a classical or jazz music station. Make certain
the house is not too hot or too cold.
