If you're planning to put your home up for sale in August, one of the hottest months in DC, please keep a few tips in mind:

Keep It Cool: Ensure the air conditioning is functioning well and keep the interior temperature comfortable for showings.

Highlight Outdoor Spaces: Stage patios, decks, and gardens with furniture and accessories to showcase outdoor living areas.

Maximize Natural Light: Open curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible, making the home feel bright and airy.

Use Summer Scents: Use fresh, light scents like citrus or lavender to create an inviting atmosphere. However, don't overdo it or attempt to mask bad smells.

Add Extra Outdoor Plants and Pots: Add some beautiful flowers. Pots are easy to care for and a great way to make any outdoor space more welcoming.
