Make sure windows/window coverings are in clean, working order
Looking back at last week, we know lighting is important. Buyers (especially Florida Buyers) want all the natural light they can get! Blinds, shutters, drapes and curtains will all be open for photos and showings so make sure they are clean and easy to open and close.
It's awkward and kind of gross to have to hold a dusty, old curtain aside so a potential buyer can see the view and experience the natural light in a room. Now is the time to wipe down the shutters or blinds. Send the curtains and drapes to the dry cleaner. Clean the windows and window sills.
All my Florida Buyers love light and bright, so make sure everything is in good working order. To minimize the touching of surfaces, we are asking Sellers to open curtains and blinds in anticipation of a showing. Open everything up, or if the property and location call for it, remove the window coverings altogether.
