Sell Right Guide - Lesson 8
How to Prepare the Inside & Outside of Your Home for
Maximum Sales Price!
Preparing the Outside of
Your Home for Sale
-
Cut the lawn every week during
the marketing period
-
Edge the lawn up the driveway
and along the sidewalks (both front back) for a
finished appearance
-
Trim all shrubbery and remove
low lying tree limbs
-
Fertilize your lawn to make grass
look lush and green
-
Replace downed shutters, gutters,
downspouts. Remove debris from gutters and downspouts
-
Paint any trim that is blistering
-
Repaint or re-stain the front
door to create a pleasant first impression
Preparing the Inside of Your Home for Sale
-
Paint only rooms that look fingerprinted,
worn or faded
-
Have the wall to wall carpeting
and draperies cleaned
-
Fix any dripping faucets. Perhaps
only a new washer is needed
-
Replace old caulking around
the bathtubs. This can be done with one tube of
new caulking and a putty knife
-
Spray lubricant on all squeaking
doors, windows, closets and cabinets
-
Store out of season clothing
so the closets do not have a cluttered look
-
Remove items from the floor
of walk-in closets so that prospects can have easy
access
-
Stack all items in the basement
and garage against the walls to show maximum space
-
Vacuum the garage, basement,
rafters and all floors
-
If there are too many appliances
on the kitchen counter, put away some to expose
maximum counter space
-
Pre-pack items that may clutter
your home. Extra toys in the children’s room
and nic-nacs may actually make rooms appear smaller
than they are
-
Clean your home from top to
bottom. A professional cleaning service can do this
for you
