For a Quicker Sale, Make Sure Your House is The Best it Can Be!

"We don't get a second chance to make a Good First Impression. Most buyers look for homes that are Clean and Spiffy!"

Checklist for Faster Sales:

• Yard: remove clutter, cut grass, edge walks, trim hedges, weed gardens.
• Front of House: paint, fix or wash steps, railings, storms, screens and front door
• Other Exterior: clean side and back door, gutters and wash windows
• Garage: tidy, paint, fix or wash doors and windows
• Plumbing: repair dripping faucets, leaky toilets, etc
• Heating/cooling: clean exterior of unit
• Lights: replace all burned out bulbs and faulty switches
• Hall and Stairs: remove clutter to give wider appearance
• Hardware: oil hinges, tighten doorknobs and faucets
• General: dust, wash, paint and fix as required
• Spaciousness: store unnecessary items to give a feeling of space

Help Your Realtor:

• For showings, please be out of the house if possible
• Turn on lights for showing
• Strong odors can ruin a sale. Make sure your home smells fresh.
• Yes, you may love your pets, but prospective buyers may not feel as comfortable with animals. Try to remove them for showings.
• Place 'highlight sheets' where they will be seen
• Have your home ready 15 minutes prior to appointment
• Please accommodate scheduling if possible

Super Critical Items:

• Kitchen: stove, refrigerator and sink should be spotless. Workspace and counters clean.
• Bathroom: clean and fresh
• Closets: tidy (overcrowded closets suggest inadequate storage space)
