Are you ready to sell your home for those potential homebuyers? Before you do, put a little attention to a few small details and you will be amazed at how much more appealing your house will be to those potential buyers!

  • Paint or wash the entire outside of the house, including shutters, window casings, and doors.
  • Wash windows to make them sparkle inside and out.
  • Clean the gutters and have the chimney swept.
  • Do any needed touch ups on the interior.
  • A fresh coat of paint on the most used areas of the house will make a big difference. This cleans and brightens up the rooms.
  • Wash any walls where paint is not appropriate such as on paneling or wallpaper.
  • Scrub the floors and bathroom tiles, and shampoo dirty carpets.
  • Get rid of all the clutter. Clean out your basement, closets, garage and attic. Use a temporary self-storage if needed.
  • Replace air filters to help keep the dust down.
  • Replace any bathroom and kitchen fixtures that look worn or are leaking. This is something that people really notice.
  • Clean under every sink. Fix any leaks, and then fix up any damage with contact paper or paint.
  • Remove any bad smells in your home, especially pet or cigarette odors. Place bowls of scented potpourri around the house.
  • When you are expecting potential buyers, put a batch of frozen cinnamon rolls or bread dough into the oven for a wonderful aroma.

Once you have done this few steps, you will see the reward of getting your house ready to sell.
