Continuing with my tips for sellers to prepare your home for market series, here is tip number three!
3. To Sell, Sell, Sell -- Clean, Clean, Clean
After you've cleared out the clutter, it's time to really clean. If you have carpets have them professionally cleaned. Hardwood floors? Then make them look their best! Hardwood floors are the number ONE selling feature in condominiums. Buyers swoon over nice hardwood floors so make sure they look great. Scour the bathrooms - another big ticket item for buyers. Buyers can be seriously turned off by a bathroom that looks used let alone dirty. So it is crucial that you re caulk if needed, and clean this room within every last inch. Go over the laundry closet, polish the furniture, scour out the cabinets, wash the windows and window coverings, and spiff up the ceiling fans and kitchen appliances. In short, clean everything, leave nothing behind and don't forget the dust bunnies on the ceiling molding!
Lastly, don't neglect the exterior; paint or power-wash everything that needs the work. Remember, this is a ceiling-to-floor, roof-to-foundation clean-up project. And with every dirty bucket of water you collect think of green in your pocket!
GO GREEN: Clean your home with home made recipes from your kitchen pantry and you'll clean just as well as using toxic items plus it's safe on you family and pets! Just add hot water to a bucket, and some ingredients you already have at home.
