Clear The Clutter
 Clutter is the enemy! Nothing makes a house look worse than things piled and strewn everywhere. It makes a house look dirty and not taken care of. Get in the habit of putting away what you get out. Go through the house with 3 bins (trash, donate, sell) and gather what you don't need or use and get rid of it. Less is more! A dirty home will turn buyers away! Make sure that everything is clean and shiny! If your home is clean, buyers will know that it has been taken care of. If everything is dirty, buyers will think that there are issues that have not been taken care of. FYI.....Buyers look in the shower/tub, inside cabinets, inside closets, etc. Make sure that every area is ready to be seen by buyers. |
Spruce Up
 A fresh coat of paint will do wonders to sell your home. Remember that you are trying to appeal to the masses. Neutral colors are always appealing. Fix any broken items in your home. Things that are damaged or broken will be noticed by buyers. It is less expensive for you to fix broken items than it is to drop your asking price. You only get one chance to make a first impression! |
