Home Tips That Add Value To Your Home
1. Although a buyer will most likely hire their own home inspector it's a good idea for you the seller to hire one prior to listing that will point out areas of concern for you to address before your home goes on the market...giving a buyer less things to pick apart.
2. Paint walls a neutral, modern color...taupe and gray tones work well. Remove all wall paper! In my opinion all wallpaper should be removed as it is usually a very personal choice and you want to appeal to the broadest market.
3. Since many buyers are requesting copies of past utility bills, a great idea is to have them at hand for the buyer, but also consider ordering a home energy audit. Most utility companies offer this service and it gives you the opportunity to be proactive and address any issues ahead of time.
4. Getting buyers through the front door can be the first make or break link in the process. Make sure your home has GREAT curb appeal! Clean up the yard, new mulch, trim bushes and paint that front door an inviting color. When you think about it a potential buyer will spend some time at the front entrance waiting on their Realtor to unlock doors and let them in. Help your home to make a first great impression by making it look its best!
5. In my opinion, one of the biggest aesthetic "bangs for the buck" is removing pop-corn textured ceilings. This will definitely make an impression on a potential buyer, adding value to your home. If this is something you want to do on your own make sure that the texture material is not made with asbestos which was common or at least a possibility until the late 70's. If your home was built before this you should hire a licensed professional with asbestos removal experience.
These few tips will give you lots to think about and get you started on preparing your home to look its best....being the best value on the block!
