Critical Things that Allow a Home to Sell Quickly and for the Most Money

Make your home look and feel like a builder's model home. Everything should look like it belongs even if it means storing things until the home is sold. You are trying to create a feeling that makes potential buyers want to move in.

Don't wait to see if the house will sell first before making repairs or replacing items. Once you do decide to do something, don't do just the easy ones or just the bare minimum.

The property needs to look good from the street, up the sidewalk, on the front porch, throughout the house, in the darkest closets, and even in the attic. You definitely want to give the impression of a well cared for home.

If buyers have a choice of two comparable properties similar in price, they'll choose the one in the best condition. Just as on the other hand, if two properties are similar in condition, the buyers will choose the one that is less money.

 

Stand at the street and look at the house. If all you can see are trees and shrubs, you have some yard work to do. One of the easiest things to do is trim the shrubs that are overgrown. They should be lowered to a height near the bottom of the windows. If there is ivy growing on the side of the home, remove it.

When you leave the house in the morning or during the day please leave it as if you know it is going to be shown. It's difficult sometimes and might even mean you have to get up a little earlier in order to take care of these important items. You never know when the right person is going to look at it, so you must always be ready for them.
