Tidy up the grounds, porches and garage.
Keep the lawn trimmed and edged.
Make sure that your yard is clean.

Your front door adds to that first impression -
be sure it is scrubbed or repainted if necessary.

Wash windows and clean/ dust window coverings.

If any decorating or painting is needed
(especially in the kitchen) do it now!

Bathrooms help sell homes. Make this room sparkle.

Illumination is like welcoming sign.
Replace bulbs and turn on the lights.

Wash dishes, make beds, put away clothes and straighten up.

Keep pets out of the way during showings-many people are allergic.

Leave the showing to the salesperson. The salesperson knows the
buyer’s requirements and can best emphasize the features of
your home.

Don’t discuss anything about the sale with a potential costumer.
Let your agent discuss price, terms, possession and other items concerning the sale. Your agent is qualified to bring
negotiations to a favorable conclusion.

Never apologize for appearance, it either distracts or
accentuates the problem.

Pack away valuables, store extra furniture,
knick-knacks, and medicines.

Pretend you are seeing your home for the first time, through
a buyer’s eyes. Call me for recommendations on how to stage
the property for presentation to prospective buyers.
That is part of my expertise.
