Are you thinking about selling your home? In today's market, it's true that properties priced closer to market value will sell first. In addition, the better "primed" your house is, the chances are it will show better than the next and therefore possibly sell before other similar properties. With the current market conditions and surplus of inventory, as agents we find the first time we take buyers out they are often shopping to remove homes from their list. Removing any homes that they recognize as not fitting their criteria and also those that don't show well, in short, those that don't leave a lasting impression. In the buyer's eyes, the care you show for your home can be an immediate correlation to how you have maintained your home. The servicing of the furnace, pumping of the septic, cleaning the chimneys. lawn mowing etc. Current service records and a house that is uncluttered and gleams will set yours apart and leave it at the top of their list to consider for a 2nd showing. As members of the Council of Residential Specialists we would like to share with you the helpful hints list to preparing your home to sell. These suggestions will help you gain a competitive edge.
