Before You List Your House For Sale

By
Real Estate Agent with 1st Cornerstone Realty

I met with a client to discuss listing his house on the market.  After going over the price of other properties, I wanted to give him some advice before listing the property that he should listen to.  If you don't fix the problems now, you'll pay for them in the end.  I had a few items that I'll let you know about if you're looking to list your property.

1)  Address all leaks in your house.  Around windows, toilets, tubs, ect.  If there are any signs of leaks, then it means trouble.

2)  Remove all the clutter.  If you can't walk into your own home, then someone wanting to buy it can't walk into it either.

3)  Repaint if the walls are messy.  Fix any problems or dents in the wall.

4)  Hire a cleaning crew to come in and clean the entire house throughly.

These are just a few items for now.  Feel free to add additional tips.

Greg,

Make sure there are no signs of pets - visible or odors. The home should smell fresh.
