Be the Shiny Penny

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Peachtree Road

If you are thinking of selling your home, remember that the way you live in your home and the way you sell your home are very different. In this market it is very important to let go of any emotional ties you may have to your home and look at it like a buyer would. Your home has to be the shiny penny

De-clutter your home. Put away all nick-knacks,extra furniture, and family pictures. You may have to pay for storage outside your home.

Have the carpet professionally cleaned or replaced.

Make sure your home is odor free.

Paint, it makes a huge difference.

Clean your home, no one likes a dirty house.

Open all window coverings, and let the sunshine in.

Manicure your yard, plant new flowers, and hose down prior to any showings.

Clean out garage and organize it.

Keep pets out during showings. You love you pet but remember that others may be allergic.

Leave your home while potential buyers are looking.

Always good tips. I would add the thing which matters the most in the current market - proper pricing.
