What to Expect while your Home is on the Market
COVID has changed much of how we do things today, including Shauna Lynn Simon CEO Beyond The Stage Homes
selling our homes. Real Estate Agents
have numerous protocols in place to ensure that you and your family are protected throughout the home-selling process, but in-person showings are still an important part of the buying process for homebuyers. Here are some things that you can expect while your home is listed.

PRE-SHOWING PREP
To help to minimize the amount of pre-showing preparations required, strive to maintain a “showready” home by putting items away where they belong immediately after use, and cleaning as you go. Make a checklist of pre-showing tasks, such as packing up daily use items and storing out of sight, turning on lights and opening doors, cleaning hightraffic areas, and setting up a sanitization station for visitors. In a perfect world, you will have ample notice for all showings, but in reality, that isn’t always the case, and being prepared will help you to avoid stressful last-minute preparations.

It is not easy to live in a show-home, but our goal in staging your home for sale is to reduce the time you will need to live this way. You may even find that living in this state will help you to reduce the clutter and unnecessary items in your next home!
