House Selling Tips

• Start with the yard: tidy up the grounds, clean around the trees, trim bushes, cut the lawn and trim the edges, remove all visible garbage bins.
  
• Enhance the front yard by planting colourful flowers.
  
• Wash windows and clean or repaint your front door, if necessary.
• Outdoor lights should be all clean and new energy efficient bulbs installed.
• The interior must always be illuminated and fresh smelling.
• Shampoo carpets and keep the floors clean.
• Kitchen should be free of dirty dishes or other items.
  
• Bathroom should be sparkling clean and all plumbing in good working condition. Check under the sinks for wet spots and fix all leaks.
• Ask your teenagers to place all clothing on hangers in the closet.
• Reduce clutter. Pack away all extra furniture.
• Keep pets out of the way during the showings.
• If possible, leave the house during a showing. The Buyers prefer to view the house at their own pace.
  
• Leave the showing to the Agent who knows the requirements of the Buyer and can best highlight the features of your home.
• Do not discuss anything about the sale with a potential Buyer or a neighbour. Your Agent is qualified to bring negotiations to a favourable conclusion.
• Look at your home objectively. Now it becomes a product that is ready to be marketed and SOLD.
