Preparing Your Home for Sale
Cleanliness
Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of dirt or odor when buying a home. Sellers lose thousands of dollars because they do not
adequately clean. If your house is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your home faster and net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars
more. If you are planning on moving, why not get rid of that old junk now so that your house will appear larger? Make more space. Odors must
be eliminated especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker. You may not notice the smell, but the buyers
do!
Showtime
When your home is being shown, please do the following:
Keep all lights on
Keep all drapes and shutters open
Keep all doors unlocked
Leave soft music playing
Take a short excursion with your children and pets
Let the buyer be at ease and let the agents do their job
Make sure that the agent showing the property uses the lock box to enter your home even if you are still home when they arrive.
Let us know whenever your home is shown by any agent who does not use the lockbox and leave the showing agents name, real estate
office, day and time of showing. Our listing coordinator will immediately fax or email the agent a showing feedback sheet which will give us
useful information to use in marketing your home.
Paint & Carpet
Paint is your best improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money. Paint makes the whole house smell clean and neat. If your
house has chipped paint, exposed wood, or the paint looks faded, it is time to paint. If your carpet is worn, dirty, outdated, or an unusual
color, you may need to seriously consider replacing it. Many houses do not sell because of this problem. Don't think that buyers have more
money than you have to replace carpet. They don't. They simply buy elsewhere.
Curb Appeal
Your front yard immediately reflects the inside condition of your house to the buyer. People enjoy their yards. Make certain that the trees are
trimmed so the house can be seen from the street. Have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged. Walkways should be swept. Clean away debris.
Remove parked cars. This all adds to curb appeal. If a buyer doesn't like the outside, they may not stop to see the inside.

Will you be present at all showings?
At open houses I, or a member of my team, will be there. For showings, potential buyers will
bring their own agents to see your home. Most buyers prefer only their own agents be present when
evaluating a prospective new home.
What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house?
Some agents will quote a higher listing price just to get your business, but an overpriced house will
not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to
recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at the price, but ultimately
the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will
value your home.
Do we have any responsibilities during the marketing of our home?
Your primary job during the sale of your home is to keep it neat and clean for showings and open
houses. A large part of a home's appeal involves staging, which is everything from furniture
placement to home fragrance. I will advise you on how to stage your home well, giving you easy
tips and quick fixes to maximize your home's appeal.
What happens once we get an offer?
I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you've
accepted an offer, I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything
