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
