Preparing Your Home to Sell

FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT
Curb appeal is vital. Your lawn should be trimmed with fresh mulch, sidewalks power washed & swept, front doorway clean and doorbell working.

PAINTING FOR A BETTER SALE
A minor investment in paint will pay in dividends in the form of a better price and/or a quicker sale. Or just touch up the paint to cover marks.

HERE COMES THE SUN!
Open the curtains and clean the windows so a prospect can see how bright and cheerful your home is. Dark, dreary rooms are not appealing to homebuyers.

DON’T BE A DRIP!
Fix leaky faucets. Dripping water suggests faulty plumbing and major repair bills. Discolored, rust- stains sinks are also warning signs – they should be clean.

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT
Loose doorknobs or cabinet pulls, sticking doors and drawers, wobbly hinges, stuck window – are negative factors. Check & repair all these minor flaws.

SAFETY FIRST
Keep stairways and corridors absolutely clear. Clutter is unattractive and can cause accidents.

BATHROOMS SELL HOMES
Make bathrooms sparkle. Clean items off the counters, clean sinks & toilets plus repair any damaged or discolored caulking.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
Let prospects see the full value of your attic, garage and closets by removing junk and cartons. Rent a short term storage space if necessary.
