| When selling a house, you usually only have one chance
to impress potential buyer. By taking the time to prepare
the house for showings, you might be rewarded with a faster
sale and a higher profit. And no, you don’t just clean it
even though everything from floors to ceilings have to be
spotless but it takes more preparation than that to make
your house ready for sell. If the house has offensive
odors, find the source of the smell and kill it. Make the
house more spacious by putting away small kitchen appliances
and other items on the counters or tabletops. Organize
closets, shelves and cabinets. Pack family photos or your
personal collections away, this will also allow the buyer to
imagine their personal possessions in the house. Repaint the
walls if possible. Try to expose desirable features of the
house, if it has nice hard floor you might want to remove
the rugs, etc. For the outside of the house, clean the drain
gutters, clear out or organize items that make your yard
looks messy and enhance the landscape if you can. Make the
front entry looks inviting by either repaint the door or
replace it.
If the house is vacant, keep the lawn and landscape
cleaned even if it means you have to hire a gardener to do
it. Vacant houses often put home buyers off with a blast of
stale or mildew-laden air. During cold months, the interior
of a house without heating always feels colder than it is
outside and this causes a great deal of mildew. Leaving the
heat or A/C running while a house is on the market reduces
odors and makes the house more appealing.
