It's hard when a toddler lives here, gosh!! He is into everything these days!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'll take out the kitchen trash early today for good measure. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941479 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 15:15:51 +0000 avivoca 1941479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do a quick clean of the bathrooms and kitchen, and sweep! I always noticed if there was lots of pet dander hanging out in corners. Also, light a nice candle or simmer some vanilla or lemon on the stove to help it smell nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941469 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 15:09:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1941469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freshen up the bathrooms ie make sure the toilets are flushed and the counters are dry.</p> <p>Spruce up the kitchen- clear off the counters as much as you can and make sure it's not emitting anything but fresh smells and or baked goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941448 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:57:57 +0000 BandDmommy 1941448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pick up anything you can and put away. Ex: No toys, clothes, etc on the floor, bed, etc. :) Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941445 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:57:11 +0000 looch 1941445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean the bathrooms and kitchen. I had such a difficult time with this when we were house hunting....if these rooms are gross, I can not look past them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941434 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:53:48 +0000 Synchronicity 1941434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure the house smells nice! That was a huge one for me when we were buying. Other than that, just making sure the house is clean in general and as picked up as possible with two young kids :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-3-hours-to-prepare-for-a-house-showing#post-1941432 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:52:06 +0000 coopsmama 1941432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...what would you do/focus on?</p> <p>I'm new at this! We have our first showing at 2:30 and I'm freaking out. (Especially as it cuts into nap time so I'm going to have to wake my kids up to leave in time!) </p> <p>What are last minute things you'd do? :) </p>
