Our Fair Oaks Realtors Prepare You for Home Showcases
Here is the deal: We have your perspective buyer, and you have the beautiful home! You are ecstatic to get this ball rolling…so what is the holdup? We are going to fill you in today on some great ways to showcase your home…and a few do’s and don’ts.
#1 De-clutter your home before we take a picture! Don’t: Let anyone come and view your home with a clutter mess. And believe us when we say your idea of clutter may not be our idea of clutter!
#2 Clean…and that’s not just the basics. We are talking carpet steam cleans, and paint touch ups. Don’t: think that buyers will not notice that ugly stain in your carpet!
#3 Make your bathroom a haven. No need to remodel the whole bath, but it would be a great idea if you can spare the funds. Bathrooms get the most return on a sale. Don’t: let your bathroom be overlooked because you use it day in and day out. Give it the tender loving care it needs to attract those buyers!
#4 Wash those windows! People will notice them when they look at your beautiful yard, and then the focus will be that nasty spot in the way!
#5 Let the light shine in! Open curtains and blinds, and turn on the lights! If there are bulbs burned out, replace them now.
#6 Be sure to fix any minor repairs inside. If you have a squeaky door, poor on the WD-40 and if you have loose cabinet door, screw in those bolts. People will notice the wear and tear on the inside and will wonder what else is lurking underneath the minor repairs.
#7 Trim those bushes, pluck those weeds, and make your yard glow! Mow the grass, and pick up the trash! Any toys should also be put away as well.
#8 Try planting some simple flowers with splashes of color. This will really spruce up your yard as well.
#9 Pets, children and you should be long gone while the showing is on. Nothing should distract the buyers from thinking this could be there home and that includes your family!
#10 No one wants to think this way, but this is no perfect world, so lock up any valuables you may have! Now you are ready for the big day!
