Home Seller's Tips
HOME SELLING TIP #1: Think safety. Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, tangled extension cords, slippery throw rugs and low hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible for uninitiated visitors.
HOME SELLING TIP #2: A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. The fewer obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.
HOME SELLING TIP #3: Check faucets and bulbs. Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors sinks, and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs or faulty wiring leave prospects in the dark. Don't let little problems detract from what's right with your home.
HOME SELLING TIP #4: Know the features that help or hurt resale in your neighborhood. In some areas, a swimming pool actually detracts from a home's value and makes it harder to sell. Your real estate professional can help you to decide on which features to advertise strongly and which to leave in the background.
HOME SELLING TIP #5: Don't turn your home into a second-hand store. When prospects come to view your home, don't distract them with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer need. You may lose the biggest sale of all.
HOME SELLING TIP #6: When you are selling, create an information sheet that lists your home's features and best qualities, especially those that people might otherwise overlook. Give this to your real estate agent, who will use the information when talking with other potential purchasers.
