1. Remember: You never get a second chance to make a good impression.
Have your home in top condition before it is shown.

2. Front Entrance: A very important place! Don't let prospective buyers find spider webs, cracked paint, and rusted door knobs, a door that sticks & creaks, or an unswept porch.
Paint, fix or wash railing, shutters, eaves and especially the front door. A fresh coat of paint or stain on the front door really makes a difference, and a pot of bright flowers and a new pretty door mat would help too.

3. Have your house pressure washed!
Have the carpet cleaned!

4. Wash the Windows!

5. Lawn & Yard: Cut back overgrown shrubs and hedges. Keep grass green, cut and edged. Remove any unneeded or unslightly items.
Add fresh pine straw to your beddings.

6. Heating/Cooling Replace filters & Clean Vents

7. Interior: You want a spacious look, an over- furnished home will appear small.
Remove unneeded furniture and clutter. Store items until the house is sold.
Paint where needed - use neutral colors.
Shades of white, bone, beige or ivory. Using the same color in most rooms makes your home appear much larger.

8. Kitchen & Baths: These rooms must be spotless clean and smelling fresh.
Repair bathroom grout if needed.

9. Closets & Garage: Clean out & remove & store unneeded items and clutter.

10.Turn on all lights for showings and open blinds & curtains.
Soft music is also helpful!

*** If possible, it is best to be out of the home for showings.

***Important: Make sure your home smells good! Open all the windows, if possible, to air it out if it needs it! Fragrant candles & sprays are helpful, but not too heavy.

***If there is a family dog, if at all possible, remove him/her for showings.

***To Get the Highest Possible Price for your Home, It Must Be In A-1 Condition!
