Seller Tips

  •  Price your home right!  As your real estate agent, I will research what other comparable home in your market are selling for and we will get your home priced accordinly.
  • Make a good first impression!  It's important to make potential buyers feel warm, welcome, and safe as they view your home.  Securing pets is always a good idea and making sure there are no hazardous obstacles in the way that will cause buyers interested in looking at your home.  Also, it may be a good idea to update the paint colors in your home.  This simple task can change the whole feel of your home. 
  • Always have your home ready to show!  It is always best to remove clutter when you put your home on the market, it is one of the most cost-effective home selling tips you can make.  Also, having a clean home is inviting to buyers.  Make sure the kitchen and bathrooms are spotless because buyers pay closer attention to these areas.
  • Remove all odors!  Smells are powerful and will easily drive a buyer away.  However, you may not even notice a smell exist.  Ask an outsider, whom you trust, to let you know if there are any unpleasant odors and address them before you show. 
  • Focus on your kitchen!  Kitchens are almost always the selling feature of a home and that is why it is important to make sure yours is reasonably appealing.  It makes sense as it is typically the place where we spend most of our time.
