The longer you work with buyers the better you understand what buyers are looking for. The more homes you preview, the more you learn which listings sell, which don't and why. In a buyers market, as a seller you want to make sure that your home stands out - and for good reasons!
Buyers are easily turned off by the smallest things like scent, wall colors, dirt and clutter.
Tip #3 - Repairs
This one could cost or save you lots of money. When buyers walk into a home and start to look around it is important that your home not only shows great but works properly. If you have a closet door that doesn't close properly because it's off it's track say, or a kitchen cabinet door is off it's hinge, a buyer will see this and think I have to do a lot of repairs and spend a lot of money.
It's always a good idea to keep your home in tip top shape through the years. Don't neglect even the little things, keeping up will save you hassle, time and money when it comes time to sell your home one day. So caulk your bathrooms when needed, repaint or wash walls when needed, replace broken screens etc etc and you'll ensure your home is in it's peak condition!
Think of it like beauty maintenance, just like you'd get a pedicure monthly, or color roots every few months - upkeep your house the way you do your beautiful self!
