SELLING CAN BE A GOOD AND FRUITFUL EXPERIENCE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS IN A TIMELY FASHION!
- DECLUTTER Clean out every room in the house by removing all unnecessary items like toys, boxes, old plants, clothes that are left about.
- PROFESSIONALLLY CLEAN the home. It is worth the cost to have all the windows and floors cleaned.
- ENHANCE AND CLEAR OUT LANDSCAPING but spend less than $500
- BATHROOMS SHOULD BE SCRUPULOUSLY CLEAN and all old towels, shampoo bottles, toothbrushes, dirty glasses should be removed. Buy inexpensive white towels and stack them up so they have a luxurious look.
- PAINT, if necessary, one month before putting the home on the market so it is still fresh. If you do paint, use one neutral color, throughout.
- REMOVE AS MANY FAMILY PHOTOS AS POSSIBLE…this will allow the buyer to visualize their family in the home and not yours.
- CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE. Discard anything you don’t absolutely need.
- GET A HOME INSPECTION. This will give you information about your home, before the buyer has his inspection and will give you a heads up as to what may need fixing. If the job is small, you might want to get it repaired before you sell.
- AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS should be maintained and a new filter put in.
- ODORS can be a deal breaker. Make sure your home is not only clean but smells good too. A bowl of spices can do wonders!
Now you are ready to put your home on the market . The very last step is TO PRICE IT RIGHT!!
