Seller Tips

1. Curb Side Clean Up
A few simple touches can make a big difference in your homes curb appeal. Keep the grass well manicured as well as sidewalks and flower beds. Pick the weeds and if it needs it add some pine straw. Remove any and all decorations. Yard decoration can be a turn off for some buyers. Rake the leaves and add some flowers with a colorful bloom. De-clutter the porches and scrub the porch furniture and front door.

2. Make it Sparkle
Clean like you have never cleaned before. Remember, your best competition is new construction homes. Fix everything no matter how insignificant it may seem. It's an easy inexpensive way to add value. Spend a little extra time in the kitchen and bathrooms, they are 2 places you want to sparkle. Clean baseboards, ceiling fans and blinds. Does the carpet need cleaning? Fix the running toilets and the dripping sink, it can irritate a buyer's nerves. Remember buyers' love to open refrigerators, cabinets and closets so make sure they are all organized. Remove all unnecessary appliances and clutter from countertops to coffee tables.

3. Staging to Sell
It's not what you think. When you walk into your house, think simplicity! Think of your house as a model home. De-clutter closets and bedrooms, make them look roomy. Remove anything and everything unnecessary. Touch-up paint baseboards, walls, etc. Does this door stick? Furniture is a biggie. Ask yourself, is this furniture too big for the room? Is there too much furniture? Don't be afraid to give it away or store it. Try to remove all traces of YOU from the house. Remember buying a home is an emotional experience and buyers' need to be able to picture themselves living in your hose. Paint room neutral colors that don't evoke emotions.
