To get Top Dollar and sell quickly, you need to get your property looking like a model home. In order to do this, you must get your home in top-notch, move-in condition. Take a look at your house as if you were seeing it for the first time. You may not notice crowded closets and untidy flower beds, but potential buyers will. Use the following as a starting point:
Superb curb appeal: Take a look from the street. Does your home look a little dingy or dull? If so give it a face-lift with a paint job, power wash, and/or trimming trees, bushes and the lawn.
Foyer: This is the entry point to the home. Make sure that it is immaculate with floors shined and mirrors cleaned.
Kitchen: Kitchens should be absolutely spotless. Pack up all excess kitchen appliances. Clean the oven inside and out. Make sure all appliances are in working order.
Rooms/Living Areas: All rooms and living areas should be clutter free. Remove any excess or bulky furniture to make rooms seem more spacious.
Bathrooms: Remove all stains, repair all leaking faucets, and polish mirrors. It is important to have bathrooms looking spotless.
Floors: All floors should shine with no missing or cracked tiling or wood sections. All carpets should be steam cleaned or replaced if necessary.
Fresh Coat of Paint: A fresh coat of paint on the inside and outside of your home will add tremendous value!
Owners be Gone: When potential buyers are viewing the home, you the owner should be out of sight so that the buyers can feel comfortable exploring and talking about your home amongst themselves and their agent.
Appeal to the Home Buyer's Senses: Have soft music playing in the background or have scented candles or fresh cookies baked just before the potential buyers arrive.
