Last-Minute Viewing? Here’s How to Get Your Home Ready Fast

From a quick tidy-up to setting the right mood, learn how to get your home ready for buyers on short notice without the panic

Start with the high-traffic areas — living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Clear away clutter, wipe down surfaces, and make sure everything looks fresh and tidy. If there’s no time for a deep clean, focus on what buyers will notice most: clean counters, empty bins, and neatly arranged cushions or throws.

Next, set the mood. Open curtains or blinds to let in natural light, switch on a few lamps to brighten dark corners, and, if possible, add a subtle fresh scent by opening a window or lighting a mild candle.

Finally, don’t forget the little touches. A quick vacuum, neatly made beds, and fresh towels in the bathroom can make your home feel cared for and welcoming — even if you pulled it together in minutes.
