Preparing Your House for Sale
One of the first things I will do before putting your house on
the market is prepare your house for sale. I want to show your
house off in its best light to maximize your earning
potential. I will tour your house with the eye of a buyer -
what works, what doesn't work.
Curb Appeal
Does your house have curb appeal? Can we give it a little more
pizzazz to draw the buyer in? Would a bit of touch-up paint
add dollars to the sale? What about the garden? Is the lawn in
order and neatly edged? Are trees and bushes neatly pruned?
Are flowers in bloom? If not, it may be time for a garden
upgrade. Adding colorful annuals to the front garden will make
a big difference. Remember, creating curb appeal will add
dollars to your house's final selling price.
Welcome Home
As I walk in the door of your house, I will ask myself, "Will
this house say, 'Welcome home' to a buyer?" Looking through
the eyes of a buyer, I will recommend changes that will
enhance sales appeal.
I'll help you eliminate anything that gives the appearance of
clutter. Countertops should be free and clear. Knickknacks,
souvenirs, family photos, refrigerator artwork - it's gone. We
need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can imagine it as
their home. Closets and cupboards should appear large and
roomy. It's time to make a donation to a local charity or
store belongings at a friend's or family member's home.
Reviewing your home room-by-room, I will make recommendations
that impact the sale. I'll point out the pieces of furniture
that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that
needs to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, windows
that need cleaning, and any other improvement that can easily
be made to promote the sale.
Setting the Stage
Before the first buyer walks in your door, I'll show you how
to set the stage. We want to engage the buyer's senses.
Lighting is critical. We'll draw back curtains, open blinds,
change light bulbs and add lighting where needed to welcome
the buyer. We'll enhance the ambiance with music playing
lightly in the background and insure a pleasing aroma emanates
from every room.
