• First Impressions Are Lasting                                                                                 

The front door greets the prospective buyer. Make sure it is fresh, clean, and scrubbed looking. Keep lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of refuse.

 

• Decorate For A Quick Sale

 

Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal. Instead of telling prospects how your home could look, show them by redecorating. The result will be a quicker sale at a higher price. The best investment when selling a home can be a few cans of paint and a little putty to brighten your home’s interior.

​

• Let the Sun Shine In                                                                                

 

Open draperies and curtains and let the prospect see how cheerful your home can be. (Dorm rooms do not appeal).

​

• Fix that Faucet!                                                                                 

 

Dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty plumbing.

 

• Repairs Can Make A Big Difference 

                          

Loose knobs, sticking and squeaking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers and other minor flaws detract from home value. Have them fixed. Many buyers believe there will be ten problems they haven’t noticed for everyone they do see.

 

• From Top To Bottom                                                                                                           

Display the full value of your attic and other utility spaces by removing all unnecessary articles.

 

• Safety First                                                                                            

​

Keep stairways clear. Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries

​

• Make Closets Look Bigger                                                                                                                    

Neat, well-ordered closets show that space is ample

 

• Bathrooms Help Sell Homes

                                                                                                        

Check and repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Make this room sparkle.

 

• Arrange Bedrooms Neatly

                                                                                                              

Remove excess furniture. Use attractive bedspreads and freshly laundered curtains.   

 

• Harmonize The Elements

                                                                                                                       Soft music, TV off. All lights on, day or night. Drapes open in the day-time, closed at night. If it’s hot, cool it; if it’s cold, light a fire.

 

• You Can Sell Pride of Ownership      

​

It’s called cleanliness, and cleanliness has more buyers than used dirt. Put a sparkle in your bathrooms and kitchen, and you’ll take out lots more silver.
