Make the Most of that First Impression,\u00a0<\/strong> a well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does a freshly painted \u2013 or at least freshly scrubbed \u2013 front door. Rake leaves in the Fall. Plant flowers in the spring.<\/p>\n

Clean & Neutral Sells the Fastest!<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s your chance to clean up in real estate. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, consider some minor redecoration. Fresh wallpaper adds charm and value to your property. We know you have to live in it, but first impressions are critical!\"corner<\/a><\/p>\n

Check Faucets and Bulbs<\/strong>
\nDripping water causes stains and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs or faulty wiring leave prospects in the dark. Don\u2019t let little problems detract from what\u2019s right with your home.<\/p>\n

Spacious Living<\/strong>
\nPotential buyers are looking for more than just comfortable living space. They\u2019re looking for storage space, too. Make sure your attic and basement are clean and free of unnecessary items.\u00a0 Organize the garage. This is often a place that becomes cluttered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bathrooms Help Sell Homes<\/strong>
\nMake bathrooms sparkle. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. Enhance your bathroom with flowers, guest towels, and your best mats and shower curtains.<\/p>\n

Pay Attention to Detail<\/strong>
\nLoose knobs, sticking doors and windows, pushed-out screens and other minor flaws can detract from your home\u2019s appeal!<\/p>\n

Coloring the Night with Light<\/strong>
\nTurn on the excitement by turning on all your lights – both inside and outside – when showing your home in the evening. Lights add color and warmth, and make prospects feel welcome.<\/p>\n

Closets Are Important<\/strong>
\nClosets look their best when they are orderly and not too full. Be sure the lights work and pack away items unused to make them look more spacious. Great time to box up unwanted clothes and donate them to charity.<\/p>\n

Don’t Turn Your Home into a Second-Hand Store<\/strong>
\nWhen prospects come to view your home, don’t distract them with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer need. You may lose the biggest sale of all.\u00a0 And remember it shows best if YOU ARE NOT AT HOME!<\/p>\n

Make it Inviting<\/strong>
\nBe sure the front entrance is clean and inviting. Paint the gutters, downspouts and the front door. Also sweep the walks, steps and driveway.<\/p>\n

Touch Up<\/strong>
\nA small investment in paint for the inside and outside helps. Remember to choose neutral colors.<\/p>\n

Avoid Crowd Scenes<\/strong>
\nPotential buyers often feel like intruders when they enter a home filled with people. Rather than giving your house the attention it deserves, they’re likely to hurry through. Just don’t be there for showing if at all possible!<\/p>\n

Smells \u2013 Get them out \u2013see Brutal Honesty 101!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Holly<\/a>This is one of the most overlooked and most critical tips of all!\u00a0 I LOVE my dogs, but regardless of how many baths they have – pets still have odors!<\/p>\n
