Q. Could You Give Me A Few Tips For Selling My Home Fast and For Top Dollar?
A. If you're thinking of selling your home, how you "position" it can mean the difference between getting a fast, top dollar sale, and having it sit on the market for a long time. If you're thinking of selling soon, you must call and get my Free report, "44 Money-Making Tips For Preparing Your Home To Sell", call me directly at 704-887-6696. In the mean time, here are a few quick pointers...
Ø First impressions are lasting. Look at your home as if you were driving up to it for the first time. What does the home look like? The driveway? The lawn or landscaping? Pay particular attention to the entry walkway and the front door area. Make sure all curtains are open and lights are on.
•Ø Get rid of any odors. They're a big turn-off. Smoking and pets are the most likely cause. Have carpets cleaned and home deodorized before showing it.
•Ø A coat of paint in critical areas (kitchen, master bedroom and baths) can do wonders to change the appearance and make the home look more valuable.
•Ø Get rid of that clutter! The way you live in a home, and the way you SELL a home are two different things. You have to move anyway, so pack up all your clutter and get it out of the way. An uncluttered home looks bigger and more appealing. Make your home look like a model home.
