So your home’s on the market — are you jazzed about getting it sold? Good. But there are a few things you need to know. More specifically, ten things. They’re called “The Ten Commandments of Selling a Home.”

Read them. Absorb them. Emblazon them to memory, because one tiny mis-step can make your dream of moving on to your next home come crashing down like a sandcastle at high tide.

(See below for text transcription)

  • Thou shalt vacate the house for all showings.
  • Thou shalt assume every day is a showing day. Keep it clean and clutter free, with pets properly secured.
  • Thou shalt not turn off utilities before closing.
  • Thou shalt fill out property condition disclosure completely and disclose all known defects.
  • Thou shalt not stop paying the mortgage.
  • Thou shalt not rely upon Zillow to determine your sales price (that’s what your agent is for).
  • Thou shalt make all beds before all showings (which includes NOT being in bed during showings).
  • Thou shalt send anyone inquiring about the property to your agent.
  • Thou shalt not call your agent at 11 PM.
  • Thou shall not cook broccoli.
