Selling A Home

When selling your home, buyers rarely walk through your front door. In most cases, you need to bring your home to the available marketplace of buyers. Effective marketing will help ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing and able buyer.

The appearance of your home, its current physical conditions, amenities,

the first impression it leaves with prospective buyers, timing, and other considerations affect the sale of you home. Be sure to explore tips for increasing your home's value. Have you considered that home prices in your neighborhood and the special features of your property are also factors used for pricing your home?

When you work with a Prudential Real Estate Professional, you can count on a specialist who can answer your questions, apply his or her in-depth knowledge of current market conditions, and access extensive resources that can expedite the sale of your home.

Outside:
It is estimated that more than half of all houses are sold before the buyers even get out of their cars. So stand across the street from your house and review its curb appeal.

Sweep front walkway.
Remove newspapers, bikes and toys.
Park extra cars away from the property.
Trim back the shrubs.
Apply fresh, new paint where needed.
Clean windows and window coverings throughout.
Keep plumbing and all appliances in working order.
Maintain all sealants (window, tub, shower, sink, etc.) in good condition.
Make sure roof and gutters are in good condition; no repairs needed.
Mow the lawn more frequently and plant flowers.
Keep pet areas clean.

Inside:
Kitchens and bathrooms should shine.
Quick once-over with the vacuum; carpets should be clean.
Place fresh flowers in the main rooms.
Put dishes away, unless setting a formal display for decoration.
Make beds and put all clothes away.
Open drapes and turn on lights for a brighter feel.
Straighten closets.
Put toys away.
Turn off television.
Play soft music on the radio/stereo.
Keep pets out of the way and pet areas clean and odor-free.
Secure jewelry, cash, prescription medication and other valuables.
Enhance the spaciousness of each room. Pack away collectibles to allow buyer to envision own furnishings in home.

Important Reminders:
Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable if the owners are not present.
If people unaccompanied by an agent request to see your property, please refer them to your Prudential real estate professional for an appointment.
Leave a number where you can be reached if you are leaving town, even for a weekend.
