Keep the façade attractive. First impressions do last. Re-paint if necessary.

Fix everything that has to be fixed. Properties with unwanted damages, no matter how small they may seem, are big turn-offs.

Secure the proper safety permits. Make sure you have all the necessary safety, fire, and other permits you need.

Clean up and stow away extra mess. Make sure the potential buyer is not overwhelmed by unwanted clutter.

Plan the property tour. Know what to say when the buyer goes to every part of the property. Highlight the attractive features of each part.
