Sellers put all the blame on their agent if their home is not selling quickly. And they are mostly right. If we do our job by pricing and marketing the home well, it WILL sell. But we are a TEAM! We need your help too. Here are some easy ( and free) ways for sellers to help their agent sell their home faster:
*The first impression people will get is your front yard . Keep it mowed, raked and the landscaping weeded. The front door also leaves a big impression, so keep it freshly painted with the handles polished. Add a pot of flowers, mat or other nice touches outside of it.
*Get rid of the CLUTTER! Pack away small appliances in the kitchen, and pictures and nick knacks that personalize the place. Buyers can't see themselves living in the home if all they see is the sellers stuff. If you have too much furniture, store some of it. It will also make the home look BIGGER.
*Buyers who are serious will snoop, so put away prescriptions, jewelry, firearms and anything else that might be a hazard or temptation.
*If it's broken FIX IT. Repair that leaky faucet, replace that burned out light bulb, oil that squeaky door.
*Clean it! Make especially sure to get rid of odors.
*Use each room for its intended use. Don't have a gym in the dining room.
