THE PURCHASE OF A HOME IS A VERY EMOTIONAL PROCESS AND, THROUGH ALL MY YEARS IN REAL ESTATE, I HAVE SEEN THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THAT\u2019S WHY YOU WANT TO APPEAL TO THE EMOTIONS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS AND MAKE THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

First Impressions<\/strong>
A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcomes prospects. So does a freshly painted \u2013 or at least freshly scrubbed \u2013 front door. In the fall, rake the leaves. In the winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer the obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.<\/p>

De-clutter<\/strong>
Take away any piece of furniture or object that you are not using on a regular basis. You\u2019ll notice how suddenly that living room looks much bigger!<\/p>

Depersonalize<\/strong>
Take away photos, trophies, medication, anything that will stop the buyer from feeling at home! Instead, add some candles, a bowl of fruit, a bouquet of fresh flowers\u2026 these are guaranteed winners.<\/p>

Let there be light<\/strong>
When expecting a visit, open all the curtains, if it\u2019s daytime and turn on all the lights! It\u2019s amazing how the look of a room changes once that switch is turned on.<\/p>

Faucets, light bulbs and sticky doors<\/strong>
Dripping water rattles nerves, discolors sinks and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned-out light bulbs leave buyers in the dark. Don\u2019t let little problems distract buyers from what\u2019s right with your home. If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will also stick in a buyer\u2019s mind. Don\u2019t try to explain away sticky situations when you can easily plane them away. A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a closing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Safety<\/strong>
Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, festooned extension cords, slippery throw rugs, and low-hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible for uninitiated visitors.<\/p>

Bathrooms and bedrooms<\/strong>
Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. For added allure, display your best towels, mats and shower curtains. Wake up prospects to the cozy comfort of your bedrooms. For a spacious look, get rid of excess furniture. Colorful bedspreads and fresh curtains are a must.<\/p>

Closets<\/strong>
The better organized a closet is, the larger it appears. Now is the time to box up those unwanted clothes and donate them to charity.<\/p>

No crowd<\/strong>
Potential buyers often feel like intrudes when they enter a home filled with people. Rather than giving your house the attention it deserves, they\u2019re likely to hurry through. Keep the company present to a minimum.<\/p>

Watch the pets<\/strong>
Dogs and cats are great companions, but not when you\u2019re showing your home. Pets have a talent for getting in the way. So, do everybody a favor: keep four legged friends outside, or at least out of the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

These are just some little pointers for you to start working on. Usually, once you decide that you are going ahead and putting the property on the market, we will go through the entire house, one room at a time, and see what can be done to make it a \u201chit\u201d for potential buyers.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
