as smoothly as possible with few to no errors: Keep Your Home Clean and Organized There really is no sense in running around panicking the day of the open house. Clean and organize your home at least three days before the showing so that you can get a feel for the real standout areas, anywhere you would like to show off more, before the open house. Be as Flexible as Possible Offer times for the open house that work best for you, but ensure that you at least attempt to stretch your availability into multiple time slots if you can to accommodate potential buyers. It’s also a good idea to take some time for a showing on “bank” holidays, such as Veteran’s Day or President’s Day, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. This will allow for a wider range of people to have a chance to come to your showings. Be Friendly, But Not Completely Open Being warm to a potential buyer is completely fine, but don’t pretend to be their best friend. Do not, under any circumstance, let your guard
