The doorbell rings, you are selling your Aurora home and you know that there are prospective buyers behind the door. You have 15 minutes to get your house ready. Are you prepared? If not, read through these tips for the next time this happens to you. Remember how you live in a house is not how you sell a house. It’s a pain but you always have to ready for a showing.
1. Put on a timer 
Time is of the essence. It's you against the clock. Put the timer on for 5 minutes at a time: 5 minutes per section of the house. You'll need to do a partial job throughout the house instead of spending too much time in one area. The timer will get you zipping across the house in lightning speed and will help keep you focused.
2. Take a few seconds to plan your strategy
If you have any other people in the house, round them up to help. Explain the situation to them and let them know just how important it is to help you sell your Aurora home. Of course, this cannot take any longer than 15 seconds.
Assign rooms to each person. If it is you on your own, divide the house into 3 parts and tackle each part during the 3 timed 5-minute cycles. If you have a 2-story home, for example, this is what you do.
· Put the timer on for 5 minutes.
· Race around like a madman and clean the main floor.
· Timer beeps.
· Turn it on for 5 minutes.
· Handle the 2nd floor.
· Timer beeps.
· Turn it on for the final 5 minutes.
· Clean up the basement.
· Timer beeps.
· Doorbell rings.
· Straighten yourself up on the way to the door. You certainly don't want to look like you've been racing around the house for 15 minutes tidying up!
Get your house cleaned fast when you are selling your Aurora home. You never know when the next person will come ringing your doorbell. It may be the person that decides to purchase your home!
