When selling your house, a very simple yet effective step you can take when showing it is to add light.
Many perceive a dark house as gloomy or drab while a bright house is always much more inviting, showing better with the extra light. It is amazing how the simple tasks of turning on lights and drawing blinds can make a difference in the presentation of a house.

My advice to sellers for all showings and open houses is to turn on the lights throughout your house. Additionally, let in as much natural light as possible by opening your blinds, shades, or curtains (don’t forget sliders too). This is an easy way to brighten up your selling possibilities!
