After months of contemplating, you have decided to put your house on the market for sale. What is next? Well, if you house is in the most perfect condition, you may just have to clean up a little. However, if you are like most sellers, getting the house ready may require you to do some repairs after a careful inspection and lots of cleaning up. One of the things that I often suggest to sellers is to try to look at their property with the eyes of a potential buyer. This works very well because they are now trying to look at things from the point of view of a potential buyer. A totally different perspective.
After careful considerations of what will be repaired and the repairs have been completed, the next thing is cleaning up. Both the outside and inside of the house should be carefully cleaned. Clutter should be totally eliminated. Remember, first impressions are lasting ones , so you want to give your very best. Next, you want to gather all pertinent information that would be helpful to a new buyer. Information and receipts from repairs, maintenance and upkeep of the home would all be very useful. Other helpful Information would include utility bills such as the electric bill. This is helpful for the potential buyer to see what these expenses average from month to month for your house. After the repairs, cleanup, and information has been gathered, then the seller should complete a Disclosure Form. This form will allow you, the seller to disclose any physical defects with the property that would potentially change the buyers opinion about the value of the property. The above are the basic and most important preliminaries in getting your house ready for the sale.
