First Impressions Are Everything!

 

Sweep and clean up your front entrance. Scrub, repaint or replace the front door if needed since buyers will spend more time here than any other place waiting for the agent to unlock the door.

 

 

Start With The Outside 

 

Give the house a fresh coat of paint if necessary, add shiny hardware to the front door and plant a few flowers to send a subliminal message the house is loved and well cared for. This could add greatly to your profit.

Simple Repairs Can Make You Serious Dollars 

 

When a buyer sees things that need fixing, they see dollar signs, and begin to wonder what else might need work that they can't see. Be sure to repair any loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, broken light switches and other minor flaws. These defects subtract from the value of the home and buyers always exaggerate the real costs to make these repairs. It will be far less costly to do them before the buyer flags the repairs and low balls your house.

 

 

Clear It Until It Shines! 

 

Cleaning is cheap to do and brings a HUGE return on your investment. Never has a buyer ever not make an offer because a house was too clean.

 

 

Make Showing Easy 

 

Try to be somewhere other than home during showings. The goal is to have the buyer feel relaxed, and not rushed when viewing your home. If you are present, they may not be comfortable looking at the details or asking questions. Further, it is the Realtor who knows what the buyer is looking for. They are better able to emphasize those key points if you aren't tagging along. Homes where owners will not leave take 4 to 5 times longer to sell or they never do.
