Tip #4: Clean or paint appliances
Appliances should be sparkling clean at all times. If your kitchen appliances have broken knobs, replace them. If your stove is green, your dishwasher is gold and the trash compactor is black, have a professional come in and paint them one matching neutral color. This is much less expensive than buying all new appliances, and it will add dramatically to the “salability” of your kitchen!
In this series, we're pleased to share with you tips that will help you sell your home faster.
Tip #1: Clean up oil spills
First impressions are always critical, and your driveway is part of that first impression. Here's a quick tip that may be the solution for your cement driveway: Try Drano or any high-powered liquid drain cleaner and sweep those oil stains away! Please use caution and read all manufacturers warnings before you begin this task.
Tip #2: Paint Walls a neutral color
If your home is decorated in dark or unusual colors, you're going to scare off a lot of potential buyers. It will be worth your while to paint your walls a neutral color, such as off-white. If you're not up to painting your entire house, at least paint the areas that make the biggest impression, such as the entry/foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom.
Tip #3: Bake Cookies
Keep a package of ready-made cookie dough on hand. Pop a few cookies in the oven just when a hot prospect is expected to arrive to view the home. The smell of freshly baked cookies will conjure up a lot of great memories! Trigger emotions that will work toward the sale of your house.
