Ten helpful things to Do Before Putting Your Home on the Market

1. Clean your windows and floors. Kitchens and bathrooms should be "sparkling."
2. Shampoo carpets, replace or get rid of worn rugs.
3. Remove unnecessary clutter from display shelves and tables. Less is better. Buyers can picture themselves in a house with less personal items.
4. Too much furniture in too little a space makes your home look small. Put some in storage.
5. De-clutter closets, pantries and garage. Tidy storage spaces look larger.
6. Repair dripping faucets, running toilets and leaking showers.
7. Clean or replace grout in bathrooms.

 8. Most homes need interior and exterior painting. If the expense is to great to repaint everything, tackle the worst areas with touch-up paint. Fresh trim paint is often a huge improvement.
9. The buyers' first impression is a large factor in their decision to buy a house. Clean or repaint your front door and keep your porch and foyer clean and clutter free. Flowers are a great touch both inside and out.
10. If finances permit, do a general pre-inspection and termite inspection. Make major repairs if possible. Surprises during the buyer's inspection could cost a sale.
