When selling your home, make it as appealing to potential buyers as possible. Begin by de-personalizing and de-cluttering the space. This will make it easier for potential buyers to picture themselves living in this space and potential buyers will be paying attention to the house and not your photographs. Follow this by a deep cleaning of the home. Consider having carpets professionally deep cleaned, this will help to remove any lingering odors from the home. Remember to clean off the counter tops in the bathroom and the kitchen. Potential buyers will notice how clean the home is and see the home as well maintained.
The Claire Trevor School of the Arts is hosting performances of Clown Aliens during the month of March. Clown Aliens is a collaborative production funded by the National Theater of Romania.

The clowns face difficulties as they try to fit into modern American life. This work has been described “as an epic clown funk musical.” The score was written by Vincent Olivieri. The production runs from March 11th through March 19th. There are both evening and matinee performances. Tickets are $15. The Claire Trevor Theatre is located at 4002 Mesa Road in Irvine.
