1. Don't worry about taking care of the lawn - they are looking at the house (it is an extension of the house)
2. Don't worry that the litter box hasn't been cleaned in a month. (Do the sniff test for lingering odors)
3. Paint wild and crazy colors on the walls throughout your house. (Tone it down to neutral paint colors)
4. Don't worry about that naked picture of your wife on the wall or the XXX video on the table. (Put away anything that you wouldn't want your mother to see)
5. Leave all the pets in the house to welcome the prospective buyers (Put Fido in a crate - barking can be distracting)
6. Make sure all of your Denver Bronco memorabilia is in full view (let's face it - the Broncos really haven't shown any of us alot to cheer about & they may be Oklahoma Sooner fans)
7. Don't think that you have to put away the dirty dishes from last nights spaghetti dinner - you were in a hurry to get out the door (people will think that because the kitchen is a mess that you are lazy and what else hasn't been kept up on?)
8. Who cares if that wall socket doesn't have a cover & there are wires hanging out? (Make sure that all the honey do's on the list are complete - if you didn't want to do it - neither will they)
9. Let the buyer see your entire family in pictures throughout the house (most people want to imagine themselves living in the house, so put some of the pictures in storage for now)
10. Don't leave a walking path to that french door from the family room - nobody uses that door anyway! (rearrange or store furniture so that the home has a spacious, open feel to it).
