and new opportunities. Now is the time to make sure your home is ready for the
possibilities. Let’s make sure your home is in top shape.Begin with a walk-through, beginning at the front door, hit every room in the home, and make a list by room of areas to address. Here are a few areas to consider:
· A good cleaning is a must; dust the corners, clean the baseboard, shine the faucets and wipe down appliances. Take a look at corners, bases, rims and rings- all areas that collect and give a worn look to a home.
· Ensure you don’t have too much furniture for the rooms. Potential buyers want to move comfortably through the home, imagining themselves living in the space. Make sure they aren’t tripping or bumping into stray chairs or out of scale furniture.
· Remove the clutter. Things pile up quickly and the holidays only add to it. Make sure magazines are purged and recycled, mail is addressed and filed, thank you notes sent and wrapping supplies stored away. Eliminating visual clutter is important and impactful, allowing potential buyers to move in mentally.
· Take care of deferred maintenance. Tighten screws, take care of squeaks and touch up paint. It makes a big difference!
Set aside some time to freshen up your home for sale. You’ll be glad you did; little changes can make a big difference!
