Selling Tips

General Advice

At the time of showing, potential buyers usually feel more comfortable when owners are not present. If an interested party comes without an agent and requests to see your property, please refer them to your real estate professional to schedule an appointment. If you are leaving town, even for a short time, be sure to leave a telephone number where you can be reached so that offers can be made promptly.

A seller should never underestimate the importance of making a good first impression on a potential buyer. Here are a few simple tips that can help increase your home’s appeal and value:

An Alluring Exterior

Keep all walkways clean
Remove newspapers, toys, etc. from the exterior of the property
Apply a fresh coat of exterior paint if necessary
Clean windows and window coverings
Keep plumbing and all appliances in good working order
Make sure gutters are clean and unclogged
Mow the lawn frequently, trim back any shrubs, and plant flowers

A Radiant and Appealing Interior

Keep the kitchen and bathrooms as clean as possible
Vacuum carpets and keep floor surfaces clean
Put dishes and laundry away
Make beds and keep closets neat
Open drapes and turn on lights to enhance the atmosphere
Keep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odor-free
