Preparing your home for sale
First impression is so important!
Curb appeal is vital. Your lawn should be trimmed, sidewalks swept, front door clean, doorbell working.
Painting for a better sale.
A minor investment in paint will pay dividends in the form of a better price and/or a quicker sale.
Here comes the sun!
Open the curtains and clean the windows so a prospect can see how bright and cheerful your house is. Dark, dreary rooms are not appealing to homebuyers.
Don't be a drip!
Fix leaky faucets. Dripping water suggests faulty plumbing and major repair bills. Discolored, rust-stained sinks are also warning signs - they should be clean and sparkling.
Little things mean alot...
Loose doorknobs or cabinet pulls, sticking doors and drawers, wobbly hinges, stuck windows - are negative factors. Check and repair all minor flaws.
Safety first!
Keep stairways and corridors absolutely clear. Clutter is unattractive and can cause accidents.
Bathrooms sell homes.
Make bathrooms sparkle! Clean sinks and toilets and repair any damaged or discolored caulking.
From top to bottom...
Let prospects see the full value of your basement, attic, garage, and closets by removing junk cartons. Rent a short-term storage space if necessary.
