“FIX-UPS” THAT WILL HELP YOUR HOME SELL
Your home should look great when it goes on the market. When you are ready to list your home, I recommend that you go through each room with a critical eye.
Start with the ceiling: look for any cracks or water stains, then inspect the condition of the paint and wallpaper. Make sure that the windows are clean and window treatments are attractive. All of the closets and storage spaces should be neat and organized (a cluttered closet looks smaller!). If the rooms seem cluttered with too much furniture, you can create a more spacious look by storing your “overflow”.
A well-maintained house tends to sell much quicker than one where buyers must use a lot of imagination. The condition of your house will help to determine the selling price; the better the house looks, the better your chances of selling it for top dollar. I can help you identify the repairs and cleaning that will increase your home’s marketability.
