SELLER'S TIPS / CHECKLIST

Here are a few suggestions to help you get your home ready for the market.

THE FRONT YARD
A well kept, landscaped yard is very important.  In addition to trimming and weeding the lawn, why not add a few nice touches like potted landscaping flowers, plants or even a new layer of colored gravel or stone. These details invite the eye and the buyer onto your property.

THE EXTERIOR AND TRIM
A freshening up of exterior paint or touch-up of the trim is always a good idea. Clean up the sidewalk and maybe reseal or recoat the driveway. A sharp driveway helps to drive up your sale.

THE BACK YARD
We know this is where you live and play.  Make it inviting for your future buyer.  Clean up the pool, pick up the tools, clear those wood piles and gardening materials, put away the toys, fix and paint the fence, etc.

THE INSIDE
Clean the carpets, add a layer of fresh paint,  touch up the counters and tile, repair dripping faucets, shine the linoleum, clean the pantry, clear the garage or other storage rooms.

THE BATHROOMS
Get to work on the dirty tub, shower stalls, commodes, and cosmetic cabinet. Keep mirrors sparkling clean. Don't forget fresh towels!

THE CLUTTER
Remove excess furniture, pictures, knick knacks, etc. from family rooms and bedrooms. Remove all the old books and magazines from the coffee table. Replace them with one or two new classy publications. 

THE AIR
Open some windows, buy an electric air purifier, light some candles...whatever it takes...especially if you smoke or have pets. This might require cleaning the drapes and washing the windows, too. Let the sun shine in and keep it fresh smelling inside.
