- First impressions count! Stand near the curb outside and see what others notice about your house first. How is the landscaping? Do you need exterior paint? Does the yard need to be neatened up?
- Closer up on your outside inspection - does the front door need painting? Are the windows clean and working properly? How about the screens - any holes that need repair?
- Walk through your front door and breathe in deeply - all homes have an aroma. Make sure yours is apple pie pleasant!
- Is the interior as clean as possible? Do carpets need cleaning, rooms need painting or just plain sprucing up? Put a sparkle in your home!
- You want potential buyers looking at your home and not being distracted by your excessive personal items. Since you'll be moving soon anyway, why not box up excess items and store them - making your home and closets seem that much larger!
- Florida living invites light, bright, airy living - open the drapes, turn on the lights and lighten up!
- Ensure that the back yard is just as inviting as the rest of your home - Plant some flowers!
- Do some "homework"! Know what comparable homes in your neighborhood are selling for. This will be your competition - and you'll want to outshine them!
- The easier it is for a potential buyer to see your home, the faster you'll sell it! Plan in advance how you'll handle showings, especially if you have pets or small children!
- Be prepared! Sometimes an offer comes in with a quick closing date! Where are you going from here? How are you planning to move your "stuff" - with friends or a professional moving company?
- Put my expertise to work for you! Let's face it, selling a home is a business - My Business! As a professional Real Estate Agent, I can take care of the business of selling your home!
