Make Your Home Look Great!

The marketing of your home is business deal. Once you make the decision to sell your home, you need to prepare your home to look its best. You want your potential buyers, themselves, to imagine living in your home. In order to ‘de-personalize’ each room, get rid of most of your personal clutter, and you can achieve this goal.

  • Hire a cleaning service. A spotlessly clean home is essential; dirt will turn off a prospect faster than anything.
     

  • Mow and edge your lawn, or remove snow and slush as necessary. Be sure toys and yard equipment are out of sight. Clean up after pets.
     

  • Set the table with pretty dishes and candles. Add a new shower curtain, fresh towels and new guest soaps to every bath.
     

  • Lock up your valuables, jewelry, and money. It’s impossible to watch everyone all the time.
     

  • Serve cookies, coffee, and soft drinks. It creates a welcoming touch. But be sure the kitchen has been cleaned up; use disposable cups so the sink doesn’t fill up.
     

  • Build a fire in your fireplace, or put a basket of fresh flowers there if it’s not in use.
     

  • Turn on all the lights. Even in the daytime, incandescent lights add sparkle.
     

  • Send your pets to a neighbor or take them outside. If that’s not possible, crate them or confine them to one room (a basement or bath.)
     

  • Make sure your front door is clean and freshly painted if needed. Add a new doormat. First impressions are everything.
     

  • Accompany your prospective buyers through your home; answer questions, and point out the good features of your home.
     

Remember to be a seller you have to look at your home like a buyer.
