      Make the Little Things Count....
 The old saying, "it's the little things that count" is never more true than when selling your home. The way you present your property to prospective buyers can make all the difference between success and failure. Buyers tend to judge homes by cost and "move-in" quality - the less they have to do to move-in, the better and the more they are willing to pay. A home that looks like a lot of work can cause the buyer to make a lower offer or none at all. Without investing in costly and time-consuming renovations and redecorating projects, it is still possible to show your home to its very best advantage. There are a lot of easy, inexpensive ways to put a shine on it and enhance its overall desirability. Here are some suggestions that may help:

bulletPolish the front door knob, clean the storm door and sweep the front steps
bulletClear away any debris or clutter from the front door - inside and outside - to make the entry to your home seem more spacious and allow freedom of movement for more than one person
bulletOpen windows daily for a few minutes to exchange stale air and/or cooking odors and mildew/moisture from hot showers and laundry
bulletIf you are at work during the day, turn on a couple of lights to make your home even more inviting
bulletRemoving excess furniture that clutters a room will provide an opportunity for your home to appear spacious
bulletPlace a vase a fresh flowers in a bathroom and place all personal care articles out of sight.
bulletIn areas that need painting, keep colors neutral and light - white, beige and gray are the most popular exterior colors, while shades of white, off white and very light pastels are the safest choices for the interior
bulletOrganize cabinets and closets to demonstrate how much room you have
bulletOpen dark drapes and blinds to lighten and brighten rooms

 

Now after doing all that, pretend you're a buyer and that you've never seen your home before.
Would you buy it?
