TIPS FOR A QUICK SALE...
For Sale By Owner

Prepare For Showing

Remember you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression.

First impressions count with buyers. In today's age of consumerism, every buyer is comparative shopping. A small investment in time and money can give your home a solid advantage over competing properties. So by paying attention to detail now, you can enhance the perceived value later. The following are some suggestions for preparing your home to show to its best advantage.

Create A Buying Mood

Turn on lights
Turn on air conditioner/heater
Open the drapes
Light the fireplace

Exterior Appearance

Keep lawns cut
Trim hedges and shrubs
Weed and edge gardens
Clear driveway and clean up oil spills
Clean out garage
Touch up paint
Make repairs where needed

Create Space

Clear halls and stairs of clutter
Store surplus furniture
Clear kitchen counter and stove top
Clear closets of unnecessary clothing
Remove empty boxes and containers

Maintenance

Repair leaking taps and toilets
Clean furnace and filters
Tighten door knobs and latches
Repair cracked plaster
Touch up paint
Clean and repair windows
Repair seals around tubs and basins
Replace defective light bulbs
Oil squeaking doors

Squeaky Clean

Clean fridge and stove (in and out)
Clean around heating vents
Clean washer and dryer
Clean carpets, drapes and window blinds

At The Front Door

Clean porch and foyer
Ensure door bell works
Repair screen on door
Fresh paint or varnish front door
Repair door locks and key access

The Value Of Feedback

If your home does not sell it is important to know the reason why. Similarly you should also know why your home is not being shown. So don't be afraid to ask because if you do not know what is wrong you won't know what to fix. If more than one buyer makes the same remark about your home, it is significant information that you should receive.
