Here is another answer to a Frequently Asked Question that Lawrence And Sheila receive...

How Do We Prepare Our North Shore Of Long Island House For Sale?

A seller should never underestimate the importance of making a good first impression. Here are a few simple tips that can help increase your home's appeal and value and make it Show Ready...

Declutter, declutter, declutter. You want that "buy me" look.
Clean, clean and clean some more. It's especially important that the Kitchen and Bathrooms are spotless and also the Entryway cleared for a first great impression.
Organize closets, buyers are going to open them!
Make sure the basic appliances work, and electrical outlet's are working.
Fix leaky faucets and put missing light bulbs in.
Put dishes and laundry away and out of sight.
Make the beds and make sure no dirty towels are lying around.
Open the curtains and turn on the lights to enhance the atmosphere.
Keep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odor-free.
Keep the first impression of outside curb appeal neat and clean. Mow the lawn on a regular basis, cut-back plantings, weed the garden and pick up unused items from the yard.
Make sure your backyard has the same great first impression as the front yard.

Good morning Larry and Sheila -

A great To Do list for anyone preparing to list their home! I agree with Toni...clean is huge. Seems what one person considers clean is far from it to another person. So CLEAN....

Have a great day my friends.

Shelia and Larry - all excellent and extremely important projects to do when preparing your North Shore, Long Island home for the market. Cleaning and decluttering make a huge improvement in how a home shows on MLS and in person and it doesn't cost anything!
