As a homeowner, you
can play an important part in the timely sale of
your property. When you take the following
steps, you’ll help the Premier Realty Group
sell your home faster, at the best
possible price.
The easiest and most reliable way to improve the
appeal of your home is to enlist a quality home
service professional. The right professional can
help you get everything in order - from
repainting the kitchen to providing a thorough
cleaning - so you can stay focused on more
important things. Find a contractor now.
Make the Most of that First Impression ...
Curb Appeal
A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and
a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does
a freshly painted – or at least freshly scrubbed
– front door. If it’s autumn, rake the leaves.
If it’s winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer
obstacles between prospects and the true appeal
of your home - the better. Find a landscaper or
painter to help.
Invest a Few Hours for Future Dividends
Here’s your chance to clean up in real estate.
Clean up the living room, the bathroom, the
kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the
paint is fading, consider some minor
redecoration. Fresh wallpaper adds charm and
value to your property. If you’re worried about
time, hire professional cleaners or painters to
get your house ready. Remember, prospects would
rather see how great your home really looks than
hear how great it could look "with a little
work." Find a cleaning service or handyman to
help.
Check Faucets and Bulbs
Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors
sinks, and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing.
Burned out bulbs or faulty wiring leave
prospects in the dark. Don’t let little problems
detract from what’s right with your home. Find a
plumber, electrician or general contractor to
help.
Make Room for Space
Remember, potential buyers are looking for more
than just comfortable living space. They’re
looking for storage space, too. Make sure your
attic and basement are clean and free of
unnecessary items. Find a contractor to help.
Consider Your Closets
The better organized a closet, the larger it
appears. Now’s the time to box up those unwanted
clothes and donate them to charity.
Make Your Bathroom Sparkle
Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check
and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the
tubs and showers. For added allure, display your
best towels, mats, and shower curtains. Find a
contractor to help.
Create Dream Bedrooms
Wake up prospects to the cozy comforts of your
bedrooms. For a spacious look, get rid of excess
furniture. Colorful bedspreads and fresh
curtains are a must.
Open
up in the Daytime
Let the sun shine in! Pull back your
curtains and drapes so prospects can see how
bright and cheery your home is.
Lighten up at Night
Turn on the excitement by turning on all
your lights - both inside and outside - when
showing your home in the evening. Lights add
color and warmth, and make prospects feel
welcome.
Watch Your Pets
Dogs
and cats are great companions, but not when
you're showing your home. Pets have a talent
for getting underfoot. So do everybody a
favor: Keep Kitty and Spot outside, or at
least out of the way.
Keep a Low Profile
Nobody knows your home as well as you do.
But the Premier Realty Group know
buyers - what they need and what they want.
Your RE/MAX Associate will have an easier
time articulating the virtues of your home
if you stay in the background.
