Get Your House Ready to Show to Buyers

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Keller Williams Professional 0225167755

A house that "sparkles" on the surface will sell faster than its shabby neighbor, even though both are structurally well maintained.

From experience, REALTORS® also know that a "well-polished" house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price. Additionally, buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a well-cared for home because if what they can see is well maintained, they assume that what they can't see has probably also been well maintained. In readying your house for sale, consider:

  • how much should you spend to prepare your house for sale?
  • exterior and curb appeal
  • interior appeal

Before putting your house on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal.

Sometimes that is a hard sell for sellers and more so if you have tenants.

Hi Gene,

it has been my experience, normally it is harder to sell a home with tenant then otherwise. If the tenant cooperate it will make our job much easier and some do. Thanks for commenting. Johnny
