Real Estate Tips
Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions a person will have to make in their lifetime. This experience can be daunting unless you are working together with a professional real estate broker who understands the process. If you are thinking of engaging in the buying process, contact me.
When Selling a Home:
A seller should never underestimate the importance of making a good first impression on a potential buyer. Here are a few simple tips that can help increase your home's appeal and value:
An Appealing Exterior:
Keep the front walkway swept
Remove newspapers, bikes and toys from the front walk or yard
Park extra cars away from the property
Trim back the shrubs
Apply a fresh coat of exterior paint if necessary
Clean windows and window coverings
Keep plumbing and all appliances in working order
Maintain all sealants (sink, tub, window, shower, etc.) in good condition
Make sure roof and gutters are in good condition
Mow the lawn frequently and plant flowers, hire a professional landscaping company if necessary
A Clean and Inviting Interior:
Keep the kitchen and bathrooms spotless
Vacuum carpets and keep floor surfaces clean
Accent living and dining rooms with freshly cut flowers
Put dishes and laundry away
Make beds
Open drapes and turn on lights to enhance the atmosphere
Keep closets neat
Put toys away
Switch off the television
Keep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odor-free
Make safe jewelry, cash, prescription medication and other valuables
Avoid clutter to enhance the spaciousness of your home
Generally speaking, potential buyers usually feel more comfortable when owners are not present. If an interested party is unaccompanied by an agent and request to see your property, please refer them to your real estate professional for an appointment. If you are leaving town, even for a weekend, remember to leave the number where you can be reached so that offers can be made promptly.
