Let your Home "Smile a Welcome" to Potential Buyers
First Impressions are lasting - The front door greets the prospective purchaser. Make sure it is fresh, clean, and scrubbed looking. Keep lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of refuse.
Decorate for a Quick Sale - Faded walls and worn woodwork reduces appeal. Why try to sell the prospect how your home could look, when you can show him by redecorating? A quicker sale at a higher price will result. An investment in a new kitchen will pay dividends, and you can't find a better investment when you are selling a house than a few cases of paint to brighten up the interior.
Let the Sun Shine In - Open draperies and curtains and let the prospect see how cheerful your home can be.
Repairs Can Make a Big Difference - Loose knobs, squeaking doors, sticking windows, warped cabinet drawers, and other minor flaws detract from home value; have them fixed. Many buyers believe there will be ten problems they haven't noticed for every one they do see.
Inexpensive updates - older switches, outlets, blinds, door hardware, and bathroom faucets can conspire to make a house look out of date yet can be updated at a low cost.
From Top To Bottom - Display the full value of your attic and other utility space by removing all necessary articles.
Safety First - Keep stairways clear. Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries.
Make Closets Look Bigger - Neat, well-ordered closets show that space is ample.
Bathrooms Help Sell Homes - Check and repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Make this room sparkle!
Arrange Bedrooms Neatly - Remove excess furniture. Use attractive bedspreads and freshly laundered curtains.
Harmonize the Elements - Keep FM radio or stereo on softly, TV off, all lights on day or night, drapes open in the daytime, closed at night. If it's hot, cool it; if it's cold, light a crackling fire
Pride of Ownership sells houses faster and for More Money - Put sparkle in your bathrooms and kitchen, and you'll take lots more silver out.
