“WORDS OF WISDOM”
For Presenting Your property
|
|
• First impressions are
lasting! The front doorway greets the buyer.
Make sure it is fresh, clean and swept. Keep
lawn trimmed and edged and the yard free of
garbage or walks free of snow and ice in the
winter.
• Remember the 3 C’s ….clean, colorful and
clutter less! Keep the property as clean as
possible, use light and bright colors for
accents, and most importantly, get rid of the
clutter! Personal photographs and mementos are
very important to you, but they are very
distracting to potential buyers. Try to create a
“blank slate” for them to picture where they
would place their own belongings.
• Let the sun shine in!
Open draperies, curtains and blinds and let the
buyers see that your house is bright and
cheerful. Dark rooms are unappealing.
• Fix that faucet! Dripping water suggests
faulty plumbing.
• Fix that ceiling! Stained
and damaged ceilings suggest faulty plumbing
and/or leaking roofs. |

|
• Repairs can make a big
difference! Loose knobs, sticking and squeaking
doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers and
other minor flaws detract from home value. Many
buyers believe there are ten problems hiding for
every one they’re able to see.
• From top to bottom. Display the full value of
your attic and other utility space by removing
all unnecessary articles.
• Safety first! Keep all stairways clean. Avoid
cluttered appearances and possible injuries.
• Make closets look bigger! Orderly closets show
that space is ample.
• Bathrooms and Kitchens help sell homes! Check
and repair caulking around sinks and showers.
Make them sparkle! Keep surfaces as clutter-free
as possible.
• Arrange bedrooms neatly! Remove excess
furniture. Use attractive bedspreads and freshly
laundered curtains. Put private memorabilia
away.
• All lights on, day/night! Harmonize the
elements – FM radio on softly, TV off! |
