When Selling a Home:
Here are a few simple tips that can help increase
your home’s appeal and value:
A seller should never underestimate the importance of making a good
first impression on a potential buyer. Curb appeal!! Right from
the time a potential buyer gets out of their car, everything is that they can
see is important.
An Appealing Exterior:
Keep the front walkway net and clean
Remove newspapers, bikes and toys from the front walk or yard
Park extra cars away from the property
Trim back the shrubs
Mow the lawn frequently and plant flowers, hire a professional landscaping company if necessary.
Apply a fresh coat of exterior paint if necessary

Make sure roof and gutters are in good condition
A Clean and Inviting Interior:
Keep the kitchen and bathrooms spotless.
Keep plumbing and all appliances in working order maintain all sealants (sink, tub, window, shower, etc.) in good condition
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

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 have them call me 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.
