Preparing Your Home For Sale:

In a perfect world a prospective buyer will try to imagine how a house will look like with their own furnishings. Too often though, a buyer gets caught up in the owner's taste and how they keep the house. A neat, uncluttered house presents itself much better to a prospective buyer. Below is a list of suggestions that will help you make your house look more attractive to a prospective buyer.

Outside:
1) In the summer, make sure the grass is mowed and any trees and shrubs are well kept. In the winter make sure the walks and driveway are clear of snow and ice.
2) A neat garden with flowers or vegetables greatly enhances the outside look.
3) If possible, touch up the paint on the house. Peeling paint makes a house look like it is in disrepair.

Inside:
1) Remove as much as possible from your closets and storage areas. A full closet looks smaller.
2) Make sure the rooms in the house are not cluttered or filled with too much furniture. Again, too much furniture or clutter makes rooms look smaller.
3) Touch up the paint in areas that are scuffed or covered with fingerprints.
4) Clean the windows inside and out.
5) Make sure your kitchen appliances are clean and in working order.
6) Clean the carpets.
