Marketing your home to today’s buyer is an exercise in housekeeping.
There are ways to make your home stand out from the rest of the crowd. Just start with the obvious, clean the house
well and make it sparkle. When buyers come
through your pad the first appearance is what they will remember. It
will have that old adage of curb appeal if you follow a few common sense:
- Vacuum and sweep the floors and Carpet. If needed shampoo the carpets
- De-Clutter the house, don’t make your kitchen appliances the focus of the eye.
- Clean the bathrooms inside and out. Make sure the shower has the discoloration removed use some elbow grease. Clean the toilets and for goodness sake replace the missing toilet paper. Clean and shine the mirrors and a take the bulbs out and clean them. Light bulbs show all dirt when the switch is on.
- Clean the kitchen and get the sink. Vacuum up all of the toast crumbs and mop the floor. Get rid of stains in the dishwasher, use an available water treatment do this a couple of times if needed. Get the mop and bucket and go to work on the floor.
- Clean all of the windows do a good job and get all of the spots
- Dust every day, make it easy a Swiffer or equivalent.
- Keep the lawn green and mowed and weeds wacked, clean oil and other stains from the driveway.
- Always keep the entry to the house clean and swept.
These are just a few things that will give you the edge and
all it takes if time and effort. If you
have a home that is vacant and a budget, have the home staged with just a few objects
or some furniture. Good luck with the
sale and stay calm.
