Spring Cleaning - Regardless of the Season
Once you have the potential buyer to your doorstep, you want to be sure to capture their complete attention once inside! You definitely want the beauty of your home, to be much more than just skin deep!

• Clean Floors - Most commonly the first noticed part of your home
• Clean windows and mirrors.
• De-Clutter - Closets, garages, storage areas. These are important features of any home.
• A small investment in a fresh coat of paint is important to prospective buyers
• Eliminate Odors - Pets and Cigarettes may encourage others to leave without a full tour of the home. Plan your deodorizing days in advance.
• Repair the small things - Leaky faucets, burned out light bulbs, a running toilet. A prospective buyer wants to know that the home was well kept.

Set a Fair Price
Your Agent will be able to provide an analysis of what similar homes in the market are selling for. Be honest with yourself, and sell at a price that wont exclude you from lookers.

Expect Intrusions
As with any sales process, the buyer will always expect reasonable leniency on viewing your home. Be prepared to have your home ready for show in a moments notice. If you are going to be unavailable, make sure your Agent has a set of keys, or a lock-box setup to show immediately when the opportunity presents itself.
