Six steps for selling your house quickly!

Prepare yourself to sell your house. Do your
best to see the house, no longer as your
home, but as a product to be marketed.

This takes some work, especially if you have
been in the home for a number of years and
have many memories there, but it is
necessary if you want to maximize your
properties potential.

Consider a professional house inspection. An
inspection will most likely uncover any major
defects before they can cause trouble with a
potential buyer. It also is a signal to buyers
that you are a responsible seller.

Prepare the house. Stand back and look at
your house as objectively as possible. Would
you buy this home? Ask friends and
neighbours to do the same, asking them to
be totally honest. Overlooking flaws could
cost you money! Get them fixed before you
put the house on the market.

Do what is necessary to make your house
stand out from the competition. Make certain
that your house is fresh, clean, and well
maintained.

Remove most of the "imprint" that you have
made on the house. Having a few family
pictures around

Six steps for showing your home

Give all family members assigned jobs in
advance that will go into action when a
short-notice showing is scheduled. Everyone
must know their duties and carry them out,
so that you don't end up banging into one
another trying to get everything done quickly.

Open every window. All curtains and blinds
should be positioned to let in maximum light.
Buyers like a house to be "light and bright,"
so accommodate them! Turn on as many
lights as possible.

Make sure the house smells good. Baking,
often recommended, may be overdoing it,
but pet odours, smoke, or greasy cooking
odours definitely will not work! Air the house
just before the scheduled showing, but close
the windows (unless it is a perfect day)
before they arrive.

Six very important words: no clutter, no
clutter, no clutter!

Make sure that everything is spotless. Pay
particular attention to the bathrooms and the
kitchen. In the bathrooms, towels should be
fresh and clean, sinks and baths scrubbed,
and the floor freshly cleaned. In the kitchen,
make sure all dishes are put away and
surfaces and sinks cleaned.

Remove pets from the house, or at least,
keep them outside.
