PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS
The little things–both positive and negative–can make a big difference to prospective buyers who are interested in your home.
Before you list your home, go through the house with a careful eye. Fix any loose doorknobs, popped screen doors, and loose grout around the tub and shower. A coat of fresh paint can work wonders to dress up a house. Wash the windows, hang a pretty plant from the bathroom skylight, and clean out the closets. Arrange the furniture to make the room look larger. If the rooms look cluttered, put your extra furniture into storage. You can brighten up a room by increasing the wattage of the light bulbs. Going the extra mile to showcase your home will pay significant dividends when it’s time to show it to buyers. The less imagination people must bring with them when they look at your house, the greater your chances of selling your home quickly and for top dollar.
