When your home goes on the market, your real estate agent may want to hold it open to get buyers through the door.

Open houses are much like showings, but they have a few unique aspects.

Here are 5 tips to prepare your home for an open house:

Remove Clutter
Any real estate agent will encourage you to remove clutter before you ever list your home. Buyers want to see a move in ready home and not have to think about decluttering or having to clean. Any stacks of papers, toys or shoes should be moved out of the house. Remember, buyers will be looking inside closets and cabinets as well, so don’t just stuff clutter out of eyesight!

Cloth napkins
