Hints for Home Buyers!

Homebuyers buy a "house" and immediately want to make it "their home". Here's a couple of tips to help in that process.

1. Make a list of EVERYTHING you would like to change about the house to make it more appealing to the buyers.

2. Prioritize all of the items. Most important item on the top and least important on the bottom. Do not over whelm yourself with too many little small things to do, but the major curve appeals and

3. When you are ready to start on your list....FLIP IT OVER! ! ! Yes...that's right....flip it over and start from the bottom.. You will ALWAYS get the most important items done but inevitably you will learn to "live with" the items that aren't as important.

As an example: When you start painting your house.....start at the back of the house....because you know that you will ALWAYS paint the front....Right???

Rosemary - I love the "Start painting from the back of the house". That is so very true.

We have a list on our house. It's been there since the day we bought it.

I had an extra piece of whiteboard that I put on the garage door entry to the house (the one inside the garage)

On the top it simply says... BORED?

And then it has about 20 or so "projects" that need to be completed. Most I put there but some are from the wife. I have to walk by it to get in the house everyday. It's a constant reminder.

It works. I've never been bored. - so far.

This is great advice, and it says a lot about human nature. I'll try it.

Rosemary - Seems a lot of homes could use at least paint. I like the idea of painting from the rear!

Mike, how funny. Never get bored. In this business, there is always something going on and not enough hours to get through it all. So I can relate to never getting bored! But you've got to do the "honey do" list!!! Keeps a smile on the wife's face! wink wink
