Tips on preparing your home to look it's best result in a faster sale at a higher price.
- Make sure the exterior is clean and the lawn well manicured.
- The front door entrance greets your prospective buyer. Make sure it is clean.
- Bring in the sunshine! Open the drapes or shades to show how cheerful your house is during the daylight. Turn on the lights for evening showings and
- consider leaving on strategic lights for a brighter feel, particularly on cloudy dreary days.
- Neatness is important. Remove clutter, keep your beds made, tidy up closets and keep your house in good showing condition.
- Keep your heat/air-conditioner set a comfortable temperature. Check your air-filters. (Replace if dirty)
- Keep Kitchen counter tops cleared. Make sure your oven is clean. Remove pictures and magnets from the refrigerator. Check the kitchen faucets for leaks and caulk repairs.
- Bathrooms should be checked for leaky faucets and necessary caulk repairs. Polish and shine the bathroom fixtures. Make sure your bath mats are clean.
- Clear all unnecessary items form your attic/basement areas. Removal of these items will make the areas appear larger.
- Soft music and pleasant aromas give your home an inviting feel.
- Remember that selling you home is an emotional time. It is best to arrange leaving the house during a showing. This allows your prospective buyers to inspect and ask questions more freely to the agent.
- Pets should be kept out of the pathways of others. Your agent/and or prospective buyers may be sensitive to pets. This may be a good time for you or someone arrange a walk with your pet.
