Have you had to move before your house has sold?  Here are some tips if you are in this situation:

1. Make sure the house is super clean after everything has been moved out.  Dirt, smudges, dirty sinks, etc. really jump out in an empty house.  If necessary, arrange for some touch-up painting.
2. Leave a rug at the front door to minimize the tracking of dirt & water.
3. Don’t leave empty boxes, bags of trash, and unwanted personal items.  It gives a more “run-down” feeling to the property.
4. Arrange to have the lawn mowed in summer or the driveway plowed and sidewalks shoveled in the winter.  Overgrown lawns or sidewalks knee deep in snow are turn-offs for buyers.
5. Check with your insurance company to make sure your empty house is covered.  Some companies require a different (and unfortunately, more expensive) policy if the house is vacant for a long period of time.
