When Selling Your Home

First impressions are lasting - An inviting exterior insures inspection of the interior/ Keep your lawn trimmed and edges - the flower beds cultivated - the yard free and clear of refuse. Remove snow and ice from the walks and veranda in the winter time.

A decorated home - a step toward a sale - Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce desire. Do not tell the prospect how the place can be made to look - show him by redecorating first. A quicker sale at a higher price will result.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness - Bright cherry windows and unmarred walls will assist your sale.

Fix that faucet - Dripping water discolors the enamel and calls attention to faulty plumbing.

From top to bottom - The attic and basement are important features. Remove all unnecessary articles which have accumulated. Display the full value of your full storage and utility spaces.

Step high-step low - Prospects will do just that unless all stairways are cleared of objects. Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries.

Closet illusions - Clothes properly hung, shoes, hats and other articles neatly placed, will make your closets appear adequate.

Dear to her heart is the kitchen - colorful curtains in harmony with the floor and counter tops (clear of soiled dishes) add appeal for the lady of the house.

Check and double check - Check and double check your bathroom. Bright and clean bathrooms sell many homes.

For the rest of your life - Bedrooms are always outstanding features. Arrange them neatly.

Can you see the light? - Illumination is a welcome sign for after-dark inspection

Don't over price - Your home should not be priced any more then 5% higher then it's fair market value - go higher then this and you will ensure a faster sale... for someone else's home!
