Home Seller Tips

Homes that sell quickly and for more money, are those that shine inside & out

  • Make the Most of that First Impression

    A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does a freshly painted – or at least freshly scrubbed – front door. If it’s autumn, rake the leaves. If it’s winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.

  • Invest a Few Hours for Future Dividends

    Here’s your chance to clean up in real estate. Clean up the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, consider some minor redecoration. If you’re worried about time, hire professional cleaners or painters to get your house ready. Remember, prospects would rather see how great your home really looks than hear how great it could look “with a little work.”

  • Check Faucets and Bulbs

    Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolours sinks, and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs or faulty wiring leave prospects in the dark. Don’t let little problems detract from what’s right with your home.

  • Don’t Shut Out a Sale

    If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will also stick in a prospect’s mind. Don’t try to explain away sticky situations when you can easily plane them away. A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a closing.

  • Make Room for Space

    Remember, potential buyers are looking for more than just comfortable living space. They’re looking for storage space, too. Make sure your attic and basement are clean, organized and free of unnecessary items.

  • Consider Your Closets

    The better organized a closet, the larger it appears. Now’s the time to box up those unwanted clothes and donate them to charity.

  • Make Your Bathroom Sparkle

    Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. For added allure, display your best towels, mats, and shower curtains.

  • Open up in the Daytime

    Let the sun shine in! Pull back your curtains and drapes so prospects can see how bright and cheery your home is.

  • Lighten up at Night

    Turn on the excitement by turning on all your lights – both inside and outside – when showing your home in the evening. Lights add colour and warmth, and make prospects feel welcome.

  • Think Safety

    Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, festooned extension cords, slippery throw rugs and low hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible for uninitiated visitors.

  • Avoid Crowd Scenes

    Potential 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. Keep the company present to a minimum.

  • Watch Your Pets

    Dogs and cats are great companions, but not when you’re showing your home. It can be stressful for your pet and for the prospective buyer. It’s best for both if the pets can be kept safely out of the way.

  • Think Volume

    When it’s time to show your home, it’s time to turn down the stereo or TV.

  • Relax

    Be friendly, but don’t try to force conversation. Prospects want to view your home with a minimum of distraction.

  • Don’t Apologize

    No matter how humble your abode, never apologize for its shortcomings. If a prospect volunteers a derogatory comment about your home’s appearance, let Frank or the showing agent handle the situation.

  • Keep a Low Profile

    Nobody knows your home as well as you do but the agent will have an easier time articulating the virtues of your home if you stay in the background.

  • Don’t Turn Your Home into a Second-Hand Store

    When prospects come to view your home, don’t distract them with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer need.

  • Defer to Experience

    Don’t engage prospects in negotiation. When prospects want to talk price, terms, or other real estate matters, let them speak to their agent.
