HOME SELLING TIPS – 1

Getting your home ready for the market:

Once your home (should you choose to sell with its contents) is listed with Rullion it's "show time". Your house and even your way of life are on stage with the potential buyers who will see them. To keep the property looking its best, establish a routine to take care of the little details like making the beds each morning, cleaning up the clutter and sprucing up all the the spaces. These must be done daily or, in the case of repeat showings, every few hours. Price and condition of a home are the key factor for a successful sale!

To ensure the best condition, pay special attention to these areas:

Inside

·      Clean walls and paint, if needed, with neutral colours
·      Clean windows inside and out
·      Test all light fixtures and put in new bulbs.
·      Check all plumbing, fixtures and repairs as needed.
·      Provide pleasant scent in the house; remove any odours
·      Make sure sinks and tubs are shiny and spotless
·      Check caulking in tubs and showers, repair as needed.
·      De-clutter all closets, attic, garage and other storage areas.
·      Pare down furnishings to give your home a more spacious look (agent can make recommendations).

Outside

·      Mow, water and edge lawn carefully, then remove grass clippings
·      Spruce up flower beds, trim trees and weed
·      Clean or paint exterior surfaces, particularly the front door
·      Test all door and window locks
·      Inspect screens and screen doors, repair or replace as needed
·      Refurbish or replace faded street numbers.
·      Have roof condition checked by an expert

·      Make sure all exterior lighting is in working condition.
