    \n
  1. DECLUTTER Clean out every room in the house by removing all unnecessary items like toys, boxes, old plants, clothes that are left about.<\/li>\n
  2. PROFESSIONALLLY CLEAN the home.\u00a0 It is worth the cost to have all the windows and floors\u00a0 cleaned.<\/li>\n
  3. ENHANCE AND CLEAR OUT LANDSCAPING but spend less than $500<\/li>\n
  4. BATHROOMS SHOULD BE SCRUPULOUSLY CLEAN and all old towels, shampoo bottles, toothbrushes, dirty glasses should be removed.\u00a0 Buy inexpensive white towels and stack them up so they have a luxurious look.<\/li>\n
  5. 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.<\/li>\n
  6. REMOVE AS MANY FAMILY PHOTOS AS POSSIBLE…this will allow the buyer to visualize their family in the home and not yours.<\/li>\n
  7. CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE.\u00a0 Discard anything you don’t absolutely need.<\/li>\n
  8. GET A HOME INSPECTION.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 If the job is small, you might want to get it repaired before you sell.<\/li>\n
  9. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS should be maintained and a new filter put in.<\/li>\n
  10. ODORS can be a deal breaker.\u00a0 Make sure your home is not only clean but smells good too.\u00a0 A bowl of spices can do wonders!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now\u00a0 you are ready to put your home on the market .\u00a0 The very last step is TO PRICE IT RIGHT!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
