Things that will enhance the sale of your
home: |
 |
First impressions are lasting:
Make sure the front of your house is clean and inviting, keep
your lawn and hedges trimmed and manicured. Remove leaves and
debris from walks. Make sure that your pool is clean. A
small investment in painting will make your home look fresh
and return more in the selling price. |
 |
Pay attention to detail: Minor
flaws will detract from your home's value. Fix loose knobs,
torn screens, dripping faucets, clogged drains. Pay special
attention to odors from pets or cooking. |
 |
Bright, clean, charming: Make sure
your bathrooms sparkle, clean out messy closets, box up things
neatly in the attic or basement. Create a warm, friendly
atmosphere with fresh flowers, lots of light, a fire in the
fireplace in winter, open windows in summer. |
 |
Three's a crowd:
Avoid being present during a showing; the prospect will
feel like an intruder and hurry through. Leave and take
your pets with you. If you can't leave, step outside of the
house and don't force conversation. If the agent has a
question, he will ask you. |
 |
Avoid looking cluttered: While your
knick-knacks may have given your home the personal touches
that you have enjoyed, they may make it difficult for some
buyers to envision the house as their own. Put as much of it
away as you can. This will also give your home a more
spacious look and feel. |
 |
Counters and Cabinets: A very
important feature to most house hunters is plenty of counter
and cabinet space. Clean off counters, and make sure
your cabinets do not look like they are busting at the
seams. |
