The First Rule of Real Estate: Looks count.

     With some objective evaluation and a little effort, you can help sell your property faster.  By focusing on the appearance of your house, inside and out, a potential buyer will see what makes your house special.

     The following are general guidelines for making your house shine.

  • Hose down the outside to eliminate dust and cobwebs and clean window screens
  • Keep the yard and perimeter tidy
  • Make sure fencing and gates are straight and functioning
  • Brush up interior paint if needed
  • Make sure lights work and light fixtures are clean
  • Make ovens and range sparkle
  • Pack excess personal items from counters, closets, corners and shelves
  • And finally, aroma is important.  Fresh cut flowers, fragrance packets tucked away or a few cups of apple juice with a cinnamon stick warming in the over make a house smell like a home for the buyer
