Get Top Dollar For Your Home

Everything from the floors to the windows should be spotless. Remember to clean the oven and other major appliances, as potential buyers will be peaking. Do'nt forget to make bathrooms shine!

Kill any offensive odors. They're the first thing buyers notice, and often a permanent turnoff.

Eliminate clutter.  Put away small kitchen appliances and other items that are sitting on countertops and tables. Remove photographs from table-tops. You want potential buyers to pay attention to the features of your home and not get caught up appreciating your personal items.

Organize the closets.  Yes, potential buyers will have a peak in them also!

If you have pets, make arrangements for them the day of the showing.  Once again, you do not want the potential buyers being distracted by your cute little Fido.

Make your front entry inviting. Decorate it, paint the door or buy a new door. It's the first look that potential buyers get, which can quite possibly set the stage for the rest of the viewing.

If at all possible, arrange to be out when showings are scheduled.  Buyers feel more comfortable and are free to ask questions.  Buyers typically take a longer time in looking at your home if you are not present.  Take this opportunity to enjoy some time out with your family and let the real estate professional work their magic.
