When people move into a new home, they usually look forward to inviting their friends and family to show off their new place. But one thing they don't look forward to is uninvited guests invading their personal space. Our agents have assembled a few tips to keep your home safe from wildlife intrusions.

• Lock them out
  Unwanted creatures seek fortuitous opportunities such as cracks and holes in the walls. It's amazing how small a gap along the roof can accommodate a rodent, much fewer insects and spiders. Inspect the house regularly to locate cracks and gaps around doors, windows, conduits, and vents. Seal them with caulking to block pests, stuffing larger spaces with steel wool before applying sealant. Install or replace old door sweeps to eliminate their most common pathways.

Bathrooms are essential spaces for health and hygiene, but it can be difficult to keep them clean and organized with daily use. When our agents show new listings, buyers often see bathrooms overflowing with hair and skincare products, cosmetics, toiletries, and cleaners. Although these may be essential items for the homeowner, the only thing buyers see is clutter.

Buyers looking for Bakersfield homes for sale want to see clean, organized rooms that reflect a comfortable, inviting home. If you're thinking about selling your home, it may be time to declutter your bathroom and show potential buyers a tidy, organized space with a relaxing vibe.

• Organize the Linen Closet
  While some linen closets are in the bathroom, others may be in a nearby hallway or bedroom. Either way, you can be assured that buyers will open them to inspect the storage space. Before they do, take the time to organize your blankets, quilts, throws, bed linens, towels and washcloths, and any other items you store in your linen closet. For a fresh, inviting smell, hang potpourri on small closet hooks.
