Selling your home tips!
How to Beat your competition when selling your home.
PAINT AND CARPET FACTS
Paint is your best improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money!
Paint makes the whole property smell clean and neat. If your house has
chips, exposed wood or looks faded, it is time to paint. If your carpet
is worn, dirty, outdated or an unusual color, you may need to seriously
consider replacing it. Many houses do not sell because of this problem.
Don't think that buyers have more money than you have to replace it.
They don't...they simply buy elsewhere!!
AN INVITATION TO COME INSIDE
Think of prospective buyers as your guests and prepare your home's interior accordingly. Keep these points in mind...
*fresh paint
*clean up clutter
*clean kitchen
*make bathrooms sparkle
*clear out closets
*clean the fireplace
*roll out the welcome mat
*add special accents to make your house appear comfortable and
inviting. Think of prospective buyers as your guests and prepare your
home's interior accordingly.
CLEAN FACTS
Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of dirt or odors when buying a resale home!
Sellers lose thousands of dollars when they sell because they do not
adequately CLEAN! The perception in the buyer's mind...lots and lots of
work which translates into money!
If your house is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your house
faster and net hundreds, or thousands, of dollars more. If you are
planning on moving, why not get rid of that old junk now, so that your
house will appear larger? Make more space. Odors must be eliminated,
especially if you have animals, or smoke. You may not notice the smell,
buy buyers do!
Most realtors have a difficult time communicating to their sellers
about odor. By employing me to get the most amount of money for my
sellers, do not take offense if I must confront you about odor problems.
Freshen your kitchen by sending a lemon through your blender or
garburator. Sweeten your fridge with a box of baking soda. Add some
fresh flowers to the living room. Spray the bathrooms with lavender!
