TAKE AN INSPECTION TOUR

Time to sell your home? Take two steps, and the sale will be more rewarding. First, ask me to role-play as a buyer, taking a critical tour of your home. Second, do the needed improvements to your home prior to placing it on the market.
The first step - having me tour your home - can be enlightening. Perhaps the doorbell is cracked or broken, the front door in need of paint, or the bedroom screen torn. Then there's the bathroom tile in need of grout, the leaky sink trap in the kitchen, or the smelly cat litter box in the utility room.

Buyers in search of their dream home notice these things, whereas they may just be a part of your everyday life. What is merely a coffee stain on the carpet to you, may justify a complete re-carpeting job to buyers. Minor cleaning, painting or improving can remove imperfections, as well as eliminating buyer excuses for lowering their purchase offer.

A spotless, well maintained home may provide you with the ammunition needed to justify your asking price. Complete all repairs and improvements before buyers see your home. The result may be a full-price offer in short order!
