Consider painting the house before showing it --
inside and outside. This is a very cost effective improvement and
probably the most important. |
|
|
Let the sun shine in! Open the draperies and
curtains and let your buyer see how cheerful your home can be. |
|
|
Keep the closets clean. Well ordered closets
appear to be spacious closets. |
|
|
Having an attic, a garage or a basement is a big
plus. Their contents should be well organized to show maximum space. |
|
|
Clean bathrooms sell homes. Check and repair
the caulking the bathtub and shower areas. Make this room sparkle! |
|
|
Lubricate sticking doors, windows and drawers.
Fix loose door knobs and leaky faucets. |
|
|
When showing your home, try not to have any
distractions or loud noise with regard to pets, radios or televisions. |
|
|
A reminder -- children can also be a distraction to
some potential buyers. |
|
|
When your local MLS or Realtor takes a photo of
your home for the listing, be sure to have garage doors closed, extra cars
removed from the driveway and trash containers not at the curb.
