PREPARING YOUR HOUSE FOR SALE.
An important
aspect
of
selling
your
home
may
be
how
well
it
shows.
A
little
cosmetic
touch
up
can
go a
long
way.
Here
are
a
few
tips
that
might
assist
you
when
listing
your
property
with
us:
2.
If
you
really
feel
you
can
do
it,
clean
out,
clear
out,
and
organize
your
basement.
3.
Replace
light
bulbs
in
basement
and
hallways.
4.
If
you
have
pets,
consider
any
litter
box
odor
problems
or
pet
odor
problems.
A
good
remedy
is
to
use
air
fresheners,
and
scented
candles
or
plug-ins.
5.
If
you
have
too
much
furniture,
consider
downsizing.
Sometimes
less
is
more.
This
will
make
rooms
appear
bigger
and
less
cramped.
6.
If
your
woodwork
is
faded,
chipped
or
stained,
a
gallon
or
two
of
glossy
paint
will
work
wonders.
7.
Replace
any
broken
blinds,
torn
curtains
or
drapes.
8.
In
winter,
clear
snow
from
parking
and
keep
walkways
as
clear
as
possible.
Buyers
can
call
at
any
time
with
varied
schedules,
and
those
buyers
who
are
here
for
one
day
from
out
of
town
will
be
able
to
see
your
property
with
short
notice.
9.
The
condition
of
the
exterior
of
the
property
should
be
another
consideration.
A
little
yard
work
has
its
benefits.
Trimmed
hedges,
mowed
lawns
and
clear
decks
are
a
big
plus.
Keep
an
eye
on
pet
droppings
and
messy
uncovered
trashcans,
and
of
course
children's
toys.
especially
if
you
have
nice
hardwood
floors.
11.
A
general
clean
up
from
the
attic
to
windows
and
kids
play
area
etc
will
also
make
a
difference.
Using
these
tips
will
be
an
important
factor
in
the
sale
and
marketing
of
your
home.
Any
combination
of
these
things
can
be
done
with
a
little
effort,
elbow
grease,
and
a
little
money;
however;
the
payoffs
can
be
big.
