your top 10 things to do to to make your home sale easier

 

1. Shape up your lawn– be sure your lawn is trimmed and edged, flower beds cultivated and your lawn is free is debris.

2. Let there be light– check all bathrooms and bedrooms, make sure they are bright and airy.

3. Showcase your kitchen– a well coordinated and uncluttered, clean kitchen impresses potential buyers

4. Brighten up– if walls ceilings or woodwork are dirty or faded, wash or repaint as needed. It is a small investment that can prompt an early sale.

5. Top to bottom– get rid of all unnecessary articles in your closets, basement and attic. Arrange the remaining articles neatly to show these spaces to their best advantage.

6. Closet space– closets appear larger when they are neatly arranged. Hang clothes properly and place shoes and hats in an orderly fashion. Store out of season clothing elsewhere.

7. Nip the drip– fix those leaky faucets. If you don’t your prospective home buyer may think you have faulty plumbing.

8. It’s the little things– take care of sticky drawers, loose doorknobs and warped cabinet doors. Little things go a long way.

9. Clean! Clean! Clean!- bright windows and spotless rooms help sell your home. Keep rooms furnished if possible. Empty rooms can be a challenge for people to visualize what they will look like furnished, yet overly furnished rooms will make the home appear smaller.

10. Night-lights– when showing your home after dark, turn on all lights throughout the house. A well-lit house gives the feeling of friendliness and warmth.
