Tips to Obtain a Higher Selling Price

Help Your Home Sell Faster!


1.  The front door is the first thing the prospect sees. Make sure it is fresh, clean and scrubbed-looking.  Make sure the doorbell works!  Keep the lawn trimmed, the leaves raked, the snow neatly shoveled.

2.  Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal.  Why try to tell a prospect how good your home could look? When selling, one of the single best investments you can make, is in a clean, fresh, neutral paint job!

3.  Open the drapes, turn on the lights, turn off the TV and stereo.  Let the prospect see how bright, warm and peaceful your home can be!   (Dark rooms are unappealing.)

4.  Fix those dripping faucets!  Discoloured sinks and leaky taps indicate plumbing past its prime!

5.  Minor repairs can make a major difference!   Loose knobs, sticking doors, broken window panes, warped cabinet drawers detract from a good impression.  Fix them!

6.  Display the full value and size of your home by removing all unnecessary articles. The cluttered look suggests the place is small!

7.  Keep stairways clear of everything!  Enough said.

8.  People will open your closet doors.   Keep them neat - that way they look adequate!

9.  Bathrooms help sell homes.  Check, clean, and if necessary, replace the grout joints in the tub and shower enclosures.  Make this room sparkle!

10.  Pets and children are best kept out of the way when possible, in the case of pets, out of the house.

11.  When a prospect arrives, be polite in your greeting then become invisible.  Let the agent do his / her job.  This is not a social call, after all.
