Pre-Marketing Checklist -- Preparing Your Home to Sell
Kitchen
— Determine whether you really need that blender, canisters, rooster, and all those other things that clutter up your countertops sitting out. Put them away or pack them away. You now have much more usable counterspace and buyers will notice.
— Sinks, appliances and counter tops should sparkle! They should also be in good working order. Fix any faucet leaks; replace any damaged appliance knobs. — If your cabinets are outdated, new hardware may make them look 100-times better. The big- box home stores have a great selection of affordable cabinet knobs. For a small amount
of money you can add an ‘updated’ look to your tired old cabinets.
— Run the edger along the driveway and sidewalks for a clean line, and keep the driveway and walkways swept or hosed clean.
— Trim all shrubbery, remove dead branches from
trees, and remove/replace any old or dying bushes.

Closets
— Pack away everything that you are not going to need for the next few months. Neatly store in boxes or rent a storage facility. Remember that closets are never big enough, and the least amount of items that are taking up space,the larger your closets look.
— Organize your clothes and shoes neatly on bars and racks. The more organized and clean and better!
— Doors and drawers should open and close
easily. Make sure all tracks are clean and free of obstacles, and any squeaks are oiled.

As your neighborhood Realtor, I like to share helpful information should you be planning to buy or sell a home. If you are thinking about listing your home this Spring, here is checklist just for you.
Realtors can’t stress enough how important it is to get your property in its best possible condition prior to offering it for sale. Everyone wants to sell their home in the least amount of time at the best possible price, right?
The simple truth is that homes with great curb appeal and homes that are super clean, well maintained, and have pleasing decor sell faster and for more money than homes that don’t measure up. It doesn’t need to cost you a boatload of money... just work your way through this checklist to be certain you are presenting your home in its best possible light.
Curb Appeal
Overall
Check all the basics around the house...all doors, windows and cabinets . . . to make sure they don’t stick, squeak or are loose, and that all the hardware is in good condition.
Apply fresh paint where needed. If a room needs re-painted, use neutral-toned paint to brightened up the space.
Carpets, draperies, and furniture should all be cleaned and looking their best.
Bathrooms
— Thoroughly clean mirrors, glass, chrome and porcelainsurfaces. Ifyouhavegrout,thenscrub away.
— Replace shower curtain and bathroom
rug with something fresh and tasteful.
— Make sure your lawn is manicured. Fill in bare spots in your lawn with grass seed, and eliminate as many weeds as possible.
