Tips for Home Seller
Making your house ready to sell |
|
· Plumbing: Repair any dripping faucets and leaky toilets.
Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors sinks and suggest
faulty or
worn-out plumbing.
· Heating/Cooling: Clean the exterior of your heating/air
conditioning unit, change filters and contact your gas company
for an
inspection prior to placing your home on the market.
· Lights: Replace all burned out bulbs, faulty switches; clean
chandelier bulbs. Burned-out bulbs leave prospects in the
dark. Don’t let
little problems detract from what is right about your home.
· Closets: Potential buyers are looking for more than just
comfortable living space. They are looking for storage space,
too. Clean
out your closets. Untidy or overcrowded closets suggest inadequate
storage
space. The better organized a closet, the larger it appears.
· Hardware: Oil hinges & doors; tighten door knobs, handles and
faucets. If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you
can be sure
they will also stick in the prospect’s mind. Don’t
try to explain sticky
situations when you can easily plane them away. A little effort
can smooth
the way towards a closing.
· Kitchen: In your kitchen, the stove, refrigerator, sink, floors
and cabinets should be spotless.
· Counters
& Workspaces: All counters and work spaces throughout
the home should be clear of clutter.
· Bathrooms: All bathrooms should be neat, spotless and fresh;
repair broken putty around the tubs and sinks. For added allure,
use your
best towels, mats and shower curtains.
· Exterior: Clean side or back door, gutters and wash windows.
