Home Selling Tips and Advice

1. Every home has boxes of items that have accumulated over the years. Removing these items early in the selling process makes your storage space seem larger and more appealing. Call me today and I will help you find a buyer who is eager to fill that storage space.
2. Removing personal items such as family pictures can help a potential buyer “picture” themselves in their new home. As your agent, I can offer additional ideas on how to stage your home for a quick sale.
3. Consider removing small appliances and any other seldom used items from your kitchen countertop. The open workspace will appeal to prospective buyers and make your kitchen look larger. Call me today and put me to work selling your home.
4. If your mailbox has seen better days, consider giving it a makeover. It is one of the first things potential buyers will see as they approach your home. Allow me to list your home for sale and I will share with you many other ideas on making a good first impression.
5. Inspect every door in your home and make sure they open and close smoothly. Replace any door hardware that does not work properly. Apply machine oil to any squeaky hinges. A stuck door can stick in the mind of a potential buyer. As your agent, I can help you avoid many sticky situations.
6. Expensive renovations to help your home sell rarely pay for themselves. Consider things that are not so costly. Do the windows need cleaning? Does the shrubbery need trimming? Does the roof have any missing shingles? Call me and I will help you maximize your curb appeal at a minimal expense.
7. Put yourself in a buyer’s shoes. Take a tour of your own home and pretend you have never seen it before. What do you notice about the home? Does the home seem well maintained? Would you want to buy this home? Call me today and I will help you make the answer a definite “yes”.
8. First impressions are hard to overcome when they are not good ones. The first thing potential buyers will notice is the smell in your house. Kill any pet odors or food odors with inexpensive plug-inns or air fresheners that will make your buyers feel right at home.
