So you finally decided to put your home on the market with a trusted Real Estate Professional and get it SOLD.

Well now is the time to step back and take a real good look at your home and the rooms that you and your family have been living in and so very used to for all these years. What may seem like no big deal to you because you see it on a daily basis, is a big deal and very noticeable to savvy buyers.

First off apologizing for your homes appearance only emphasizes the mess and the defects.

Start on the outside and walk towards your home, is the lawn manicured, the shrubs neatly trimmed. Is there garbage in the street in front of your home? If it looks appealing on the outside chances are they will want to see the inside. Paint, peeling or chipping should be corrected. It shows neglect and age of the home.

Wash down the doors exterior and interior of all fingerprints and smudges. Open the drapes or blinds to give the maximum light to a dim room. Replace all bulbs and turn all lights on. Especially in the kitchen and bathrooms where light is needed.

Is your recent visit to Costco stacked on the floor or the kitchen counter top? Find a place for these items, it shows the buyers that the house doesn't have storage space. Refrigerator magnets must go! Especially if there are so many we can't see tell the refrigerator from a bulletin board.

Look at the rugs do they need to be cleaned? Correct leaking faucets or pipes. Try to keep the pets outside or at least out of the way. Pick up pet food bowls and wee-wee pads. Clean hair and gunk out of tubs and sinks.

Put the radio on a soft station and just loud enough to hear it.

Getting your house ready to sell and look its best shouldn't be costly. Start with the little things it makes a big difference.
