Are you ready to sell?
Call us today, we'd love to discuss a
marketing plan designed especially for you!
Following are some basic suggestions for improving the marketability of your home - both inside & out!
- Clear rooms (including closets and storage areas) of everything but the basics. Arrange furniture so rooms look spacious.
-
- Remove clutter from the basement and garage. Sweep floors, degrease spots and dust.
- Have carpets and drapes professionally cleaned.
- Patch walls and ceiling cracks, then repaint or wallpaper, using neutral shades.
- Check the basement for musty smells and signs of mildew or leaks, correcting any defects.
- Inspect bathroom and kitchen fixtures to make sure they sparkle, are leak-free and are otherwise functioning well. Remove stains from countertops, sinks, tubs and showers.
- Test major mechanical components, including the furnace, water heater and electrical system.
- Make sure windows and doors open and close easily. Replace cracked or scratched glass.
- Examine the lawn and flower gardens, making sure the lawn is mowed and free of drainage problems. Colorful flowers and shrubs can enhance the home's attractiveness.
- Check the sidewalks and driveway to make sure they're free of weeds and clutter.
- Inspect the home's exterior, looking for loose, missing or damaged siding and brickwork, a cracked and uneven foundation, and gutters, downspouts or fences that are in disrepair. Paint or repair any problem areas.
- Clear the decks, patios and steps, removing unnecessary furniture, toys and debris. Tidy up any pet areas.
- Inspect the front door. A fresh coat of paint or stain and a clean doormat can help create an inviting "first impression."
Check lighting, making sure pathways and entry have adequate illumination.
