Preparing Your House for the Market

Curb appeal is often times the deciding factor in most home sales. Cleaning, painting and removing clutter are the key to a quick sale. Do the repairs necessary to make your home look the best. Be sure the landscaping and general appearance is attractive and neat. A trimmed lawn, cut shrubbery,weed-free flower beds and a clean driveway and walkway will assure a great first impression.

A clean freshly painted front door, polished door knob and knocker will be noticed. Open curtains and drapes to brighten and freshen your home. In winter, a fire in the fireplace lends warmth to your home. Cut, fresh flowers add a nice touch. Remove 1/3 of your furniture. Have carpets cleaned. Visit an open house or model home to get ideas. If you have pets make sure they are not home. For more ideas give us a call.
