For Seekersof new homes, seeing everything is important. Even crawl spaces and the darkest reaches of the cellars are viewed. Now you, the Seller, are trying to protect the environment and are also fiscally prudent with the family budget. You have been buying those low watt bulbs. Maybe you have a house full of the compact florescent bulbs. These are fantastic for the environment BUT they could take a few seconds or minutes to warm up and emit the strongest light. At this point, buyers will have walked out of the room and not seen how wonderful your home is.
For the days or weeks that your house is on the market, think about using the maximum wattage that each of your light fixtures will accommodate. Don't spend a fortune of all new bulbs. Take a trip to the dollar store and stock up for the sale. Every time there is a showing, leave the lights on in the house.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
Every day, every day, every way.

Fireplaces and wood stoves are certainly selling features. Prove to Buyers that you have been taking care of your fireplace. If it is a gas fireplace, take off the glass doors (carefully) and clean them on the inside. These doors often get a greasy film on them and can cloud the appearance of the fire. If it is a wood fireplace, bring in a chimney sweep to clean out the flu. The sweep should also be checking for any problems. We all know of chimney fires and of squirrel and bird nests blocking the flu.
If you have a wood stove, ensure that it has been inspected by a WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) certified inspector and that you have these papers available for Buyers to see. Most insurance companies will want to have this inspection done before insuring a house with a wood stove. Your Buyer will be happy that....
Ensure that where there is smoke - there is fire - where it should be.
