Info for Sellers
Your property will sell sooner and easier if you follow these helpful suggestions:
1. First Impressions are lasting impressions. An inviting exterior insures inspection of the interior. Keep your lawn trimmed and edged -- the flower beds cultivated -- the yard free and clear of refuse. Remove snow and ice from the walks and porch in the winter time.
2. Decorate your home -- A step toward a sale. Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce desire. Do not tell the prospect how the place can be made to look -- show him by redecorating first. A quicker sale at a higher price will result.
3. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Bright, cheery windows and unmarred walls will assist your sale.
4. Fix that faucet. Dripping water discolours the enamel and calls attention to faulty plumbing.
5. A day with the carpenter. Loose door knobs, sticking drawers, warped cabinet doors and the like are noticed by the prospect. Have them fixed.
6. From top to bottom. The attic and basement are important features. Remove all unnecessary articles which have accumulated. Display the full value of your storage and utility spaces.
7. Step high -- Step low. Prospects will do just that unless all stairways are cleared of objects. Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries.
8. Closet Illusions. Clothes properly hung, shoes, hats, and other articles neatly placed, will makes your closets appear adequate.
9. Dear to her heart is the kitchen. Colourful curtains in harmony with the floor and countertops add appeal for the Lady of the House.
10. Check and double check your bathroom. Bright and clean bathrooms sell many homes.
11. For the rest of your life. Bedrooms are always outstanding features. Arrange them neatly.
12. Can you see the light? Illumination is a welcome sign. For after-dark inspection, turn on your lights, from the front porch on through. The prospect will feel a glowing warmth otherwise impossible to attain.
13. "Three's a crowd." More will lose the sale. Avoid having too many people present during inspections. The prospect will feel like an intruder and will hurry through the house.
