Selling Your Home

Is your house ready to sell? Take a look at the following list and get your house in shape. The way your house appears to prospective buyers is THE most important piece of the home selling experience.

	Your front door, lawn and yard should look neat and inviting.
	This is a good time to redecorate. A fresh coat of paint, new wallpaper or refinished woodwork will pay dividends.
	Leave your curtains open to make your home look its brightest and shiniest.
	Repair loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, and dripping faucets to keep them from detracting from your home's attributes.
	Sparkling bathrooms help sell homes. Check and repair caulking and other small details.
	Avoid a cluttered look and keep safety in mind by removing small objects that look distracting or could cause injury.
	Make the most of closet space by keeping things in order. It makes them look larger.
	Brighten dark basements, utility spaces and attics with a coat of light paint.
	Arrange rooms neatly to show them to their best advantage. Put attractive bedspreads and freshly laundered curtains in each bedroom.
	Safeguard your valuables, heirlooms and most prized belongings.
