A Little Paint, Tile and Carpets Can Go a Long Way in Down Market

Everyone know it but sometimes it is amazing how many people don't pay attention to the details when looking to sell their house. Some newly painted walls, fixing cracked or chipped tiles and replacing worn carpets can transform a house from a maybe into an enthusiastic yes! Potential buyers will love seeing that you have taken the time to fix any problem areas and a fresh new coat of paint can make a room really stand out.

Still not a believer? Take a look at this case in Waldwick, New Jersey.

Great example. I have always been a believer in "staging" homes for sale. By the way I grew up in Margate, N.J.

In this down market it is still true that the cleanest, & best properties sell the fastest. Some people can not see past a stinky carpet or dirty walls. Cheep fix that in the long run will get your property sold faster and top dollar.

Sal,

Thanks for the post. Incredible how just a little can go a long way and make a huge difference.

Just a good cleaning sometimes does wonders. It amazes me that some homes we show up to inspect are just a mess. A sink full of dishes and clothes littering the floors is all to common...

Sal, you are right, my friend. It is amazing what cleaning a house can bring.
