I guess we're finally at the bargain basement pricing that is attracting viewers now~! Sure hope someone buys it soon...
we have the routine down now when we get the "call" that we've got a showing. Most of the time we get 1 hour notice.
Here's the routine (thanks in advance for letting me go on about this --even if no one reads it for some reason I am getting comfort just from typing it, lol)
Sweep downstairs floors every other day & mop twice a week (dogs!)...our toiletries now live in a shower basket so we can easily grab all our stuff and shove it under the sink. We're now "living" in only certain parts of the house so the rest is spotless at all times.
20 mins before showing...massive lemon pine sol wipedown of kitchen, light up "sage & citrus" scent candles, put on every light in the house so it looks bright, quick mop down/shine up of floor tile, rake or vacuum, Windex doggy nose prints off front picture window, then shove the dogs in the car and wait down the street for the realtors to be late so we can roast in the car with the dogs in the 105f/40c degree heat and the a/c never catches up.
Like psychos on surveillance we start making up stories about the buyers as they get out of the car (and we watch from down the road -- no one has spotted us yet,...we think)
Then wait for feedback later -- no pool or wanted bedroom downstairs are a very common theme.
OK, where can I go to find that St. Joseph statue again?
Eh, well, I can whine, but at least we are getting traffic through now
