LOOKING TO SELL

​A property can be listed in any condition.  However, if you would like your property to sell quickly, more easily and at a higher price, consider the following:

• ​Make a good first impression by keeping your lawn neat, green and trim.

• Clean windows and open draperies to highlight walls and ceilings.  Let in natural light to see how bright and cheery your home can be. 

• Paint and polish can go a long way in increasing the appeal of a home.  Minor imperfections tend to turn prospective buyers off because they overestimate the cost of repairs.

• Since prospective buyers tend to overestimate repair costs, consider having inexpensive repairs completed: loose door knobs, closet doors off track, dripping faucets, etc.

• Prospective  buyers have a hard time looking past clutter, so remove items seldom used and put away toys and newspapers.

• Many buyers judge housekeeping based on the condition of the oven and stove.  Make sure both are clean and shiny.

• Clean bathroom tile and grout so free from soap scum, and polish fixtures. 

• Closets seem larger and more enticing when they are neat and organized.

• Keep distractions away from showings (pets, family members, etc.)
