Tips
General
Replace all burned out light bulbs.
Replace fluorescent bulbs with incandescent bulbs in lamps, dining room
fixtures, etc. as they provide inadequate lighting for pictures. Clean major light fixtures such as the dining
room and kitchen. Flowers add a nice
splash of colour and give your home a wonderful scent. Clean the windows inside and out if
possible. Hide any moving boxes
especially for a virtual tour
because it picks up everything. Make
sure windows are clean.
