We suggest that you look at the following Seller Tips, designed to aid you in your sale.

Make first impressions count.   Without a doubt, a visually appealing house will attract buyers, who can't help but respond to the look and "feel" of a home. Take time to carefully prepare for showings. Don't forget the following:

Mow the yard, remove any clutter from the yard, weed gardens, remove clutter from garage, paint any exterior in need of protection.

Scrub, dust and fix up.  Buyers will notice details. Get rid of the clutter, repair leaky faucets, wage war on dust and clean until your home shines. Small things can make a potential buyer walk away. When you prepare your house for showing, remember to:

Shampoo carpets, clean tubs, hang fresh towels, oil squeaky door hinges

Listen to suggestions.   As you prepare your home, don't rely solely on your own judgement. It's hard to be objective when you're the owner. Your Coldwell Banker RCI Realty REALTOR will have helpful, professional tips on how to make your home more marketable.

Take a whiff.  Nothing will turn a buyer away faster than an odd smell. Try to eliminate smoking, food and pet odors.   

Turn on the lights. Open shades and draperies before a viewing. Open all doors inside home. Turn on inside and outside lights.

Let potential buyers "see" themselves in your home. Too many personal items can make viewers feel like they're intruding in someone else's home. Keep things clean and simple. Decorate in neutral colors.

Get out of the house. When buyers view your home, they'll be more comfortable and spend more time if you're not there. It is your Coldwell Banker RCI Realty agent's responsibility to present your home to prequalified buyers. If you must be present, be as unobtrusive as possible. 

Stay unemotional during negotiations.   Selling your home can be emotionally charged, but don't let that stand in the way of making a positive transaction. Have a business-like attitude during the process.
