  Tips for Sellers 

• List with a recommended broker who pays to have your information in multiple listing services that distribute the information in various formats. Right from the beginning, communicate with and listen to your agent. The buyer will usually have a different agent. In any case, both parties have the right to know who is representing whom, and agency will be explained to all parties. Leave a little profit for the buyer has always been advised by the wise.
• Get a market analysis, a statistical report of comparable properties sold in the same area. Over pricing your home will give that shop worn look of the damaged goods on the market shelf. Which will lead to netting less in profit every time.
• Make people want to buy your property. Bake cookies on the day of showing.

   

• 1. Reduce Clutter. A neat, organized house looks larger and more inviting than a house that has furniture, toys, and debris everywhere.
  2. Clean. Not only should a home be spotless, it must smell clean.
  
  3. Make minor repairs. Making repairs, even small repairs like lubricating squeaky hinges and fixing dripping faucets, can add up to a big difference in the way a potential buyer views a home.
  
  4. Make sure all lighting fixtures work and put in bulbs with the highest wattage allowed for each fixture. Illuminating rooms with as much light as possible will make them seem larger and more appealing.
  
  5. Make the front entry as pretty as possible. A coat of paint on the door; brass accents such as house numbers and a doorknob; and pruned bushes and blooming plants can help make a good first impression. It is important that prospective buyers like the home before they see the interior.
  
  6. Exterminate. One bug, dead or alive, can make a bad impression on a buyer. Be sure to allow time for the smell of pesticide to disappear before showing the home to potential buyers.
  
  7. Carpeting has a major impact on the look of a home. If the carpeting in a home is worn, outdated, or stained, you should consider replacing it. The investment will pay off by making the home more attractive to potential buyers.
  
  8. Make arrangements for pets. If at all possible, keep pets and pet odors away from the attention of buyers. Most people are desensitized to the odor of their own pets, but it is common to notice that a pet has been present in a home, even in a vacant home.
  
  9. Take a picture of the home at its best. A home that is surrounded by lush flowering plants in the spring may look dreary in the winter. A photo can show buyers the true beauty of the home.
  
  10. If the house has a deck, patio, porch or other outdoor entertainment area, make the most of it. Keep these areas clean and clutter-free. If the home has a pool or hot tub, make sure it is sparkling clean.
• Get a front door from e-Doors Nothing like a new door to increase the visual, feel and functionality perception a buyer gets as they enter their potential new home.
