Pricing Your Property

Determining price is one of the most critical steps in preparing your home for sale. A well priced home often sells quickly once it is put on the market.

When your home is priced right from the outset, youmaximize your opportunity of reaching the mostqualified buyers and obtaining top dollar.

Tips for Preparing Your Home For Sale

•Tidy up the grounds, porches and garage. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged. Make sure that your yard is clean.•Your front door adds to that first impression – be sure it is scrubbed or repainted if necessary.•Wash windows and clean/dust window coverings.•If any decorating or painting is needed (especially in the kitchen), do it now! Twenty dollars worth of paint will make a much larger difference in the sales price.•Bathrooms help sell homes. Make this room sparkle.

•Illumination is like a welcome sign. Replace bulbs and turn on the lights.•Wash dishes, make beds, put away clothes and straighten up.•Keep pets out of the way during showings – many people are allergic.•Leave the showing to the salesperson. The salesperson knows the buyer’s requirements and can best emphasize the features of your home.

•Don’t discuss anything about the sale with a potential customer. Let your Agent discuss price, terms, possession and other items concerning the Sale. Your agent is qualified to bring negotiations to a favorable conclusion.

•Never apologize for appearance, it either distracts or accentuates the problem.

•Pack away valuables, store extra furniture, knick-knacks and medicines.

Call me for recommendations on how to stage the property for presentation to prospective buyers. That is part of my expertise.

Pretend you are seeing your home for the first time,

through a buyer’s eyes.
