READY, SET, SELL!!!!!
Selling your home in today's competitive real estate market requires that you stand head and shoulders above the rest. To do this, everything from floors to windows must be spotless. Remember to clean the oven and other major appliances. Skylights should be crystal-clear, too. Do not forget to make bathrooms shine!
Further, upon entry your home must smell good. Kill the offensive odors. They're the first thing buyers notice, and often a permanent turnoff.
Make your front entry inviting. Decorate it, paint the door or buy a new door. It's the first look
Now that the home is clean and smells good, your home should be transformed to eliminate clutter. Get rid of old boxes and mail, clothing and accessories that you no longer need or use.
Similarly, put away small kitchen appliances and other items that are sitting on countertops and tables.
So that your potential buyer sees the home and not that lovely picture of your child's third birthday party remove photographs from table-tops.
This is also wonderful time to hang or get rid of clothes that are lying haphazardly in your closet. Organize the closets. If there's not a reason to leave something sitting around--remove it!
Now let's remember to clean up the outside. Curb appeal could mean the difference between a buyer getting out of her car and her driving off to the next property on her list. Store or organize items that make the yard look messy. Buyers nearly always comment if gutters are full of leaves and it makes them question other maintenance issues.
You are ready to launch!!! Good luck to you and please feel free to call NiCole Williams, REALTOR at 214 418 7973 with questions or to learn more about listing your property with DFW's top performing real estate brokerage.
