Property condition plays a key part in how much you can expect in proceeds from the sale. Keep the following in mind as you decide to list your home:
First Impressions are Lasting.
The front door greets the prospect. Make sure your home is fresh, clean and is welcoming. If a smoker lives in the house, you may want to refrain from smoking indoors while you try to sell your home. Also keep the lawn trimmed, edged and free of refuse.
Decorate for a Quick Sale.
Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal. Why try to explain to a potential buyer how the home could look when you can show them by doing some redecorating prior to selling? A quicker sale at a higher price will result. Ask your Jacques Company agent about how our REDI-SELL program can assist you in staging your home just before putting it on the market.
Remove Clutter.
This is a hard thing for many people to do because after living in a home for so many years, it is difficult to consider your personal belongings as ³clutter.² Nevertheless, clutter affects the way buyers see your home. If you are having a hard time stepping back and seeing what a buyer sees, ask your Jacques Company agent how the REDI-SELL program can help.
Let the Sun Shine in.
Open draperies and curtains, and let the prospect see how cheerful your home can be. Typically, dark rooms are not appealing to buyers.
Fix the Faucet.
Dripping water discolors sinks, and suggests faulty plumbing. Running toilets also suggest faulty plumbing. It is important to have these minor drips fixed.
Repairs Make a BIG Difference.
Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, and other minor flaws detract from the home¹s value.
From Top to Bottom.
Display the full value of your attic and other utility space by removing all unnecessary articles.
Safety First.
Keep stairways clear and avoid cluttered appearances. This makes your home show better, and assists in avoiding injuries.
Make Closets Look Bigger.
Neat, well-organized closets show that space is ample.
Bathrooms Help to Sell Homes.
Check and repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Make this room sparkle. An untidy bathroom is a big turn-off to potential buyers.
Arrange Bedrooms Neatly.
Remove excess furniture. Use attractive linens and freshly laundered curtains. Again, remove any clutter from end tables, dressers and the floor.
