Selling Tips

Selling your home in a timely manner and obtaining the maximum value for your home is your top priority. Here are a few tips to help you prepare your home for sale.

Home Exterior

First impressions are important. Some call it "Curb Appeal"

• Make sure the exterior of your home is clutter free
• Keep the house and yard neat and clean
• Keep the grass cut and the gardens neat
• You need to show a well-maintained appearance

Home Interior

• Discuss with your REALTOR® the areas of your home that may need painting or redecorating
• Tidy up each room. A disorderly room looks small and leaves a negative impression
• Remove some of the furniture in each room. This will help each room appear larger
• Keep all bedrooms neat. Pak up some of the dresser and tabletop items. Get rid of the clutter and many of the personal items
• Keep your bathrooms sparkling
• Light in your home is very important. Keep bright lights in darker rooms – especially basements
• Place plants and fresh flowers to add freshness
