Things to Consider When Selling Your Home

Dress Your House For Success


Spending a few hours beautifying your house can go a long way toward a quick sale at top dollar!  Here are a few suggestions that are a must for any home seller to follow:

1.  Take a walk through your house with a "buyer's" perspective.  Is it warm and inviting, or is it cluttered?

2.  Touch-up paint in all rooms.  If unsure, paint the entire room with a neutral color.

3.  The most examined rooms in the house are the kitchen and bathrooms.  Make sure these rooms shine!  Dripping faucets are easy to fix yourself as well!

4.  Prepare for a showing the same way you would prepare for company.  Make the beds, pick up clothes, sweep and mop as needed.  Showing that you care will help prospective buyers care.  A little effort goes a long way!

5.  Buyers will be interested in storage space in your house.  Make sure your closets are clutter-free to show optimal space.  Making them look more spacious will be a great selling point.

6.  Too much furniture can make a room look small and cramped.  Consider moving extra chairs or tables to storage facilities.

7.  What is the first thing your prospective buyers will see?  Your front door.  Make sure your door and entryway are spotless.  Paint if needed, and place a few bright flowers along the sidewalk.
