Featured Seller Tip

Dress Your House For Success

If your home is going to get a second look from buyers, it has to make a good first impression.

Nothing pays dividends to sellers of a house quite like elbow grease. Good housekeeping and repair, spaciousness, and pleasant aromas bring top dollar and fast sales. Conversely, the demons to the business of home selling are dirt, lack of light and space, too much deferred maintenance, and bad odors.

If you are planning to put your home on the market, you want your property to look its best. This checklist pinpoints specific items around the home that can be the key to a successful sale. The list is extensive, but the most salable properties usually reflect attention to each of the areas discussed. If your home needs extensive work and time or funds are limited, it may not be practical to cover all the points, but, rather, do the best job possible.
