How to Prepare for a Showing

It’s very important to have a good showing. It’s not expected that you be perfect, though; after all, you are living with your family in it at the same time. It is a great idea to develop a routine that will let you pick up and be prepared to show in a reasonable time period without too much stress. Try a 45 minute countdown. This does mean, however, that certain things must be done in advance- such as making the beds every morning and making sure the dirty dishes get put in the dishwasher promptly. This way, you can get ready for a fantastic showing without stress or hassle.

Before each showing it is important to do the following things:

Pick up every room. Check counters, halls, floors, and stairs. Straighten up or removenewspapers, magazines, mail, toys, clothing, sports equipment, or snack dishes.

Turn on all the lights. Even lights in closets are a good thing to turn on to create a lighter air, a more roomy and large space.

Open all the shades, blinds, and curtains. Do all you can to make the rooms look lighter and happier. The bedrooms should be neat and attractive.

Keep Your Countertops Clear

The Kitchen. Make sure the counter tops are sparkling clean. Wipe down your appliances and make sure your sink is clear of dirty dishes.

Clean Air. You may want to keep air fresheners in closets, bathrooms and kitchen. Make sure that the Kitchen air is especially clean, there is nothing worse than a stinky kitchen. You may consider baking something delicious to create a homey feeling through fresh scents.

Music! You won’t always be able to have something baking each time you have showings, but soft background music is always a good alternative.

The Fireplace. If appropriate with weather outside, a warm fire in the fireplace might add the touch you will want in your home while showing.

Air Conditioning. If the weather agrees, turn on your air conditioning.

Make sure you Bathroom is Crisp and Clean

 

The Bathrooms. Keep fresh, attractive towels in each bathroom so you can change them out quickly if a last minute showing is arranged.

The Entryway. It is the first and last impression that the viewers will get of the home. Make it a good lasting effect- check for cleanliness regularly.

By doing these things you will be prepared well for your showings. Set up the stage you want to perform well on and send out the best impressions of the home that prospect buyers have come to see!

Goin’ Running?

Everyone is very different when it comes to how they exercise. Some are very much the cardio workouts, some are into the muscular training. Yoga is also a new thing that is gaining popularity. Some of you out there probably want to start exercising more, but don’t know how to best do it. It is important to remember that no matter what you want to do, it is important to start simple, and to continue doing it, because giving up will get you no where.

If you are a runner, or want to become one, southern Utah is a great place to be. Between April and September there are around 15 major events you can take part in- no matter what stage you are at in becoming a runner. To see a list of these events visit Cedar City’s website.

Remember, don’t wear yourself out in the beginning! All the great athletes, and even just amateur runners, started small. You won’t get good at it unless you do it right. Take it slow. You can always speed up after your warm up weeks of working towards your goal!

As always, if you ever need any suggestions or ideas with anything, I am here to help. And make sure that if you know of anyone who is looking to sell or buy, let me know! I would love to be of service. Contact me at 435.701.0448 or at team@cedarcityonline.com

Lake at the Hills

Did you know that Cedar City has a Lake? Well… Maybe it’s more like a pond, but it is full a fish and has a nice sandy bank for people to lay out on. The lake at the Hills is an 11-acre reservoir on Leigh Hill. It’s built to hold pressurized irrigation water. The public is welcome to swim, fish and even ride in boats- as long as they’re not motorized!

Beautiful Reservoir

The reservoir is stocked with catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, ranbow trout, and blue gill fish. Fishing is allowed, but there is a limit to 2 fish a day per person, and anyone over the age of 12 is required to have a fishing license.

Non-Motorized Boats are Allowed

Some come take a look! Cedar City has several things to entertain, and many things going for it. Contact me if you want to schedule an appointment to look at homes next time you drop into the city!
