Sellers Maximize Your Home's Potential For Sales

Simple changes can impact how quickly your property sells and at what price


Many cosmetic changes can be made with minimal time and expense. Buyers will be comparing your property to competing properties. So here are a few practical tips to help yours stand out above the rest. 

• Unclutter
  Eliminating clutter will make your property feel larger and brighter. If your property is uncluttered and neutral, prospective buyers can explore it comfortably and envision it with their own personal touches. 

• Repair
  Making certain repairs can also add to its value. If you think something is too much trouble to fix, chances are buyers will too. 

• Clean
  Present a clean home to a buyer. Kitchen & bathrooms should shine, trash should be emptied, personal items should be put away, & beds made.

PRIOR TO SHOWING

• Place fresh flowers in the main rooms

• Open drapes and turn on lights

• Straighten closets and open doors slightly

• Turn off televisionKeep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odorfree

• Secure jewelry, cash, prescription medication and other valuables

• Keep the temperature comfortable. AC on a summer day. For effect, a crackling fire in the fireplace on a winter day.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable if the owners are not present

• If people unaccompanied by an agent request to see your property, please refer them to me so that I can prequalify them. I'm only a phone call away. 

• Leave a number where you can be reached if you are leaving town, even for a weekend.
