Home Selling Tips

When you’re preparing your house for sale, remember the importance of first impressions. The market isn’t the only factor that influences whether you get your asking price. Appearance and overall condition play a major role. Here are some easy things you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers.

 

Outside:

  • Sweep front walkways
  • Remove newspapers, bikes and toys
  • Park extra cars away from the property
  • Trim back the shrubs
  • Apply fresh, clean paint throughout
  • Clean windows and window coverings
  • Keep plumbing and all appliances in working order
  • Maintain all sealants (window, tub, shower, sink, etc.) in good condition
  • Mow the lawn more frequently and plant flowers
  • Keep pet areas clean

Inside:

  • Kitchen and bathroom should shine
  • Quick once-over with the vacuum; carpets should be clean
  • Place fresh flowers in the main rooms
  • Put dishes away, unless setting a formal display for decoration
  • Make beds and put all clothes away
  • Open drapes and turn lights on for a brighter feel
  • Straighten closets
  • Put toys away
  • Turn off television
  • Play soft music on the radio/stereo
  • Keep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odor-free
  • Secure jewelry, cash, prescription medication and other valuables
  • Enhance the spaciousness of each room.
  • Pack away collectables to allow buyer to envision own furnishings in home.

Important Reminders:

  • Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable if the owners are not present
  • If people unaccompanied by an agent request to see your property, please refer them to your real estate agent professional for an appointment
  • Leave a number where you can be reached if you are leaving town, even for a weekend.
  • The housing market is determined by supply and demand
  • Update your home where possible
  • Keep track of expenditures for income tax purposes
  • Hire a professional home inspector and offer the inspection to buyer
  • Offer to provide a home warranty
  • Go over marketing plan with your Realtor
  • Make your home convenient to show
  • Be flexible
  • PRICE IT RIGHT!!!!!!
