10 Ways to Make Your House More Salable & 5 Ways to Speed up Your Sale

10 Ways to Make Your House More Salable

1. Get rid of clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage.
2. Wash your windows and screens to let more light into the interior.
3. Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.
4. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows.
5. Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.
6. Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression that the house isn’t well maintained.
7. Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway.
8. Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
9. Clean your gutters.
10. Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.

5 Ways to Speed Up Your Sale

1. Price it right. Set a price at the lower end of your property’s realistic price range.
2. Get your house market ready for at least two weeks before you begin showing it.
3. Be flexible about showings. It’s often disruptive to have a house ready to show on the spur of the moment, but the more often someone can see your home, the sooner you’ll find a seller.
4. Be ready for the offers. Decide in advance what price and terms you’ll find acceptable.
5. Don’t refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer, be prepared to lower your asking price.

 you Deserve"

 

...Although this is our dream house, I definitely would recommend Kathy (Taverner) to all of our friends & relatives, and if by chance we decide to buy again, we would use her in a heartbeat...D.S.

 

It was a pleasure working with Sal.  His attention to detail,  professionalism and preparing this transaction moving in a timely manner was outstanding!  Great working with you Sal.

Kelly...is such a nice person and is so good at her job.  She was pleasant, efficient, and not afraid to be direct when we needed her to be.  I would, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.  J.H.

 

Leslie went above and beyond the call of duty in taking care of me and my real estate needs.  Thank You!

S. R.

 

Lee & Kathy did a great job for us.  It only took three years to find the house we wanted and they stuck it out until we found the perfect home.  D.Z.

 

Karen was wonderful!  I felt like a personal friend was looking out for me.  Thank you. K.S.

 

Barbara was terrific, extremely quick response, knows her stuff, does anything needed to get the job done.  Thanks loads!!! R.W.
