As you set up your home for your 1st open house, be sure to look at it from the perspective of a potential purchaser. Ensure that the entire house is clean and that it looks welcoming. Turn on the majority of the lights in the home so each and every room feels appealing and warm. Where you can, do a bit of staging. This can include putting some books out on a living room table, or putting a few fresh flowers on the kitchen table.
