Today's tip is from my real estate guide "22 Things Real Estate Agents do to their Own Homes Before Selling". One of our jobs as an agent is to suggest improvements that our clients can to do improve the saleability of their homes. Many of us have years of experience observing what sells a home and what prevents one from selling. This can be invaluable advice for home sellers - but some often wonder, do REALTORs actually do the things they suggest to their OWN homes before selling. The answer is a definately YES. As a REALTOR, I understand the importance of a perfectly staged home both on the bottom line and time on market. If you've ever been curious about some of the top things agents do to their own homes before selling here are the top 5 from my real estate guide:
The Exterior
Agents understand the value of "curb appeal". To beautify the exterior of the home, they focus on the driveway, entranceway, landscaping and front door:
1. The front lawn and shrubs are manicured. Gardens are mulched.
2. All clutter is removed from the front lawn.
3. Craks in the driveway and walkway are fixed.
4. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and in working order.
5. The front door is repaired or replaced if needed.
