Top Ten Team Tips

Dis-associate yourself with your home

Every home has an aura...it knows when you’re emotionally ready…and when you are…it will sell!
• Make the mental decision to “let go” of your emotions and focus on the fact that soon this house will no
longer be yours (you will always have the memories)
• Picture yourself handing over the keys and envelopes containing appliance warranties to the new
owners! If you see it… it will be!
• Say goodbye to every room
• Don’t look backwards -- look toward the future!

Make minor repairs

Our Network of sub-contractors can help make this easier and less expensive than you may think! You may
want to consider a Pre-inspection with one of our trusted inspectors.
• Replace cracked floor or counter tiles
• Patch holes in walls
• Fix leaky faucets
• Fix doors that don’t close properly and kitchen drawers that jam
• Consider painting your walls neutral colors, especially if you have grown accustomed to purple or pink
walls. (Don’t give buyers any reason to remember your home as “the house with the orange bathroom.”)
• If you’ve considered replacing a worn bedspread, do so now! You can bring it with you where ever you go!
• Replace burned-out light bulbs
• Rugs? Hardwood? Talk to us!
• Cracked or Broken seals in windows?
• Service you mechanicals
