PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE

 

First impressions are lasting ones. The following suggestions are designed to entice prospective buyers and put the best possible face on your property:

  • Look at your home from a buyer’s perspective. Try to be objective and honest

  • Create a spacious, open and inviting feeling in the home

  • Make sure the front entrance area is immaculate and uncluttered. Again, first impressions count for a lot

  • Ensure a clean environment, including odor free (remove the source, like litter box, etc) and clutter free rooms

  • Keep pets out of the house or caged during showings

  • Give buyers a clean slate. Remove all personal eccentricities like hanging beads, wild posters, the marlin you caught in the Caribbean, etc.

  • Organize and clean out closets. A neat and well-ordered closet shows that space is ample

  • Have the yard, grass and shrubs trimmed and manicured

  • Add color to your yard by planting flowers or flowering shrubs in flower beds or pots and get rid of dead or dying plants

  • Be sure that the roof and gutters are clean and free of obstructions like leaves and pine needles, and are in good physical shape

  • Clean out the garage of everything but cars. If yours has become a two-car attic, throw out or donate the excess
