Sell Your Home

Why Use a Realtor to Sell your House?

• A Realtor® will always be able to expose a home to more potential prospects than a seller could on his or her own
  
• A Realtor® is aware of any pitfalls for the seller in today's sophisticated offers from a buyer
  
• A Realtor® will offer some protection from unsavory characters posing as buyers to size up a person's property

Selling Your Home? Here are Some Tips!

Enhance curb appeal.

• Maintain lawns
• Trim edges, plant flowers and shrubs, and keep flowerbeds weed-free.

Spruce up the house.

• Wash windows
• Paint eaves troughs and trim
• Keep yard litter and leaf-free.
• Keep it uncluttered.

Let the inside shine!

• Keep the house tidy to make it look more spacious.
• Clean carpets
• Wash light fixtures, ceilings and walls (especially if you have pets).
• Get a fresh paint job.
• Store any seasonal items or extra toys.

Focus on the bathroom and kitchen.

(Buyers, especially women, look at the bathroom and the kitchen closely).

• Fix up grout or caulking
• Paint cupboards
• re-tile floors, counters, and walls in the kitchen.
• Hang up some good towels.

Before the Showing...

• Turn on all the lights.
• Keep the home vacant
• Bake a loaf of bread or a cake, light candles, or dab vanilla extract on light fixtures to create a pleasant scent in your home. (Most buyers only take three minutes to look at a home. Make a good first impression and your odds for a sale improve dramatically).
