Dark interior
No one likes to live in a house that resembles a bat cave. Well, no one except Batman, that is. But since Batman isn’t probably looking for a house, focus on real home buyers and on making your home welcoming to them.
To this end, try to brighten your home and create a warm atmosphere by having functional overhead lighting in each room. You can also install some smart lights such as the Philips Hue White Starter Kit which costs around 100 dollars and includes a kit with four bulbs and a bridge. Place mirrors in strategic places to reflect light and create more space.

Your pets
You may love your pet to the moon and back, but buyers might not share your feelings, no matter how cute and well-behaved your pet is. If you’ve scheduled an appointment with a potential buyer, it’s best that someone else takes the dog out for a walk or drop it at doggy daycare while you have the showing. Rover.com can provide you with all the answers you need.
When it comes to cats, you can put them in their cat carriers and go for a ride. Or lock them in one of the rooms or the garage and inform the real estate agents and buyers about the situation. If you’re afraid your cat is going to run the minute someone opens the door, you can put a pet gate for extra safety.
No matter the pet you have, don’t forget to clean the pet hair and whatnot before you open the door to any potential home buyers.
