Portfolio of Communities | 7 Tips for Selling Most sellers want their home to sell fast and at the highest price the market will bear. Well, it’s not luck that will make it happen. It’s careful planning, effective marketing and knowing how to professionally showcase your home that will send buyers scurrying for their checkbooks. Here are ways to prepare or stage a house and turn it into an irresistible and marketable home. Pack up those personal photographs and family heirlooms. Buyers can’t see past personal artifacts, and you don’t want them to be distracted. You want buyers to imagine how they will live in your house and how their photos will look on your walls. Consider this: if you haven’t used it in more than a year, you probably don’t need it. Remove all books from bookcases. Clean off everything on kitchen counters, including small appliances. Put essential items used daily in a small box that can be stored in a closet when not in use. Think of this process as a head-start on the packing you must eventually do anyway. Almost every home shows better with less furniture. Remove pieces of furniture that block or hamper paths and walkways and put them in storage. Since your bookcases are now empty, store them. Remove extra leaves from your dining room table to make the room appear larger. Leave just enough furniture in each room to showcase the room’s purpose and plenty of room to move around. If you want to take window coverings, built-in appliances or fixtures with you, remove them now. If the chandelier in the dining room once belonged to your great-grandmother, take it down. If a buyer never sees it, they won’t want it. Once you tell buyers that they can’t have an item, they will covet it, and it could blow your deal. Pack those items and replace them, if necessary. You’re exterior appearance should be warm and inviting. If a buyer won’t get out of their agent’s car because they don’t like the exterior of your home, you’ll never get them inside. Keep the sidewalks cleared, mow the lawn, paint faded window trim, plant flowers or group flower pots together and trim your bushes. Make sure visitors can clearly read your house number. Make minor repairs Replace cracked floor or counter tiles Patch holes in walls Fix leaky faucets Fix doors that don’t close properly and kitchen drawers that jam Paint your walls neutral colors Replace burned-out light bulbs, add brigther wattage bulbs and extra lights for darker rooms If you’ve considered replacing a worn bedspread, do so now Make the house sparkle Wash windows inside and out and remove screens from “view” windows Rent a pressure washer and spray down sidewalks and exterior Paint areas that show as dingy or worn Clean out cobwebs Re-caulk tubs, showers and sinks Polish chrome faucets and mirrors Clean the refrigerator Vacuum daily Dust furniture, ceiling fan blades and light fixtures Bleach dingy grout Replace worn rugs Hang up fresh towels Clean and air out any musty smelling areas. Eliminate pet or smoking odors. Remove or cage household pets Clean the carpets throughout ResortQuest | SALES: ResortQuestDE.com / ResortQuestOC.com RENTALS: ResortQuestDelaware.com / ResortQuestOceanCity.com
