Maine Real Estate, Sell Your Maine Home

 1. Get rid of almost everything on the kitchen counters, except for the coffee maker. Make sure the kitchen is spotless, especially the appliances, floors and cabinets.

2. Light your house up! Clean and open your curtains and window coverings. Turn on all light fixtures. Put in higher wattage bulbs. Leave your dimmer switch on bright. All these steps make rooms look bigger.

3. Leave the house when it is being shown. Buyers can look more candidly if the seller is not present.

4. Thoroughly clean and declutter your house. This can’t be stressed enough. For tips on decluttering: http://organizedhome.com/cut-clutter/declutter-101-strategies-cut-clutter

5. Make sure to communicate with your real estate agent frequently, at least every 30 days to ensure your house is priced correctly and competitively.

Great tips especially #5. Most sellers unfortunately rarely ask this question.
