6. For showings, if possible, please be out of the house. Prospective buyers will feel more at ease if the seller is not there. • Have a pre-sale home inspection if the home is 10 years or older. Make the repairs before listing. • Get cost estimate for big ticket items needing replacement soon. This is handy when negotiations start. • Gather all warranties, guarantees, & user manuals, etc.(to show buyer) for items that remain with house. • Make showings easy with a lock box. The easier it is to show your home, the faster you will sell. • Lock up all valuables (jewelry, money, prescription drugs, etc). Agents can’t watch everyone at all times. • If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days (without an offer), consider lowering the price. Interior: • Air home out, eliminate all odors. For an inviting fragrance, simmer a pan of water & cinnamon on stove. • Clean carpets & wax hardwood floors. Replace when necessary. • Clean all woodwork & cabinets with Old English. • Keep AC set no warmer than 75 degrees and heat no cooler than 70 degrees. • Repaint walls, if needed, in a neutral color. This is the best return on investment that you can make. • Clean windows and ledges. Take screens off on front of house. • Get rid of ALL clutter/ knickknack/personal pictures, etc. Store in a POD, garage, or basement. • Remove as much furniture as possible. The more floor space a buyer can see, the bigger the room looks. • When showing, the more light the better. Keep ALL lights on, drapes/blinds open, and add lamps in dark areas. • Dust & wash all light fixtures, fans, fixtures, blinds, windowsills, and plant ledges. • Clean fireplace, remove any items that are in front of it. • Be sure beds are made, clothes are hanging up, take off-season clothing and junk out of closets. • Clean bathrooms well and make all chrome & glass shine. No clutter on sinks. Freshly calk if needed. • Remove all wallpaper in house and repaint with a neutral color. (Buyer & seller taste is usually different.) • Keep kitchen counters cleared off, appliances & sink should shine. No magnets/pictures on refrigerator. • If you have pets, keep them confined to a room, basement, crate, etc. Exterior: • Pressure wash driveway, patio, & walkways, and make sure front door bell is working. • Clean gutters & eaves. Clean (or paint) the front door, garage door, trim & siding. • Fix any broken roof shingles. • Clean out garage and keep organized. Pressure wash garage floor if needed. • Keep lawn mowed and well edged. Trim shrubs clean out old flower beds and invest in new flowers/plants. • Front door should be in good condition (new paint or stain). Make sure welcome mat is in good condition. • The buyer’s first impression starts at the curb & continues through the entrance way. Make it a good one. Helpful seller tips
