How do you prepare a house to sell?
Answer: Doing whatever you can to put your house's best face forward is very important if you want to get close to your asking price or sell as
quickly as possible. Short of spending a lot of money, here are several ideas for making your home show better:
* Sweep the sidewalk, mow the lawn, prune the bushes, weed the garden and clean debris from the yard.
* Clean the windows (both inside and out) and make sure the paint is not chipped or flaking. And speaking of paint, if your home was built
before 1978, new federal law gives a buyer the right to request a lead inspection. If you think you might have some problems, do the
inspection yourself beforehand and make any fixes you can.
* Be sure that the doorbell works.
* Clean and spruce up all rooms, furnishings, floors, walls and ceilings. It's especially important that the bathroom and kitchen are spotless.
* Organize closets.
* Make sure the basic appliances and fixtures work. Get rid of leaky faucets and frayed cords.
* Make sure the house smells good: from an apple pie, cookies baking or spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove. Hide the kitty litter.
* Put vases of fresh flowers throughout the house.
* Having pleasant background music playing in the background also will help set your stage.

What are the two most important factors when
selling a home?
Answer: Price and condition are the two most important factors in
selling a home, even in a down market. The first step is to price
your home correctly. Use comparative sales information from your
agent, or pay for a professional appraiser (usually $200 to $300), to
objectively evaluate your home's worth. Second, go through the
house and repair any obvious cosmetic defects that could deter a
buyer.
In a down market, you may have to consider lowering your price
and/or making a major repair, such as replacing the roof, in order
to lure a buyer. Also, make sure that your home is getting the
exposure it deserves through open houses, broker open houses,
advertising, good signage and a listing on the local multiple listing
service or online listings provider.
If this isn't happening, take it up with your agent or agent's broker.
If you are still not satisfied you are getting the service you need,
you may have to switch agents.

Now it's time to get your home ready for the spotlight. Start with a good cleaning, then eliminate any
clutter, add a fresh coat of paint and tidy up the yard. Talk to your real estate professional about other
tips that can help boost a home's curb appeal and impress potential buyers once they're in the door.
One way to make a home more attractive is to purchase a Home Protection Plan. This insurance
protects you, the seller, from paying repair or replacement costs of major items during the listing
period. It also protects the buyer during their first year of homeownership.
In addition, make sure you are aware of all the federal, state, and local disclosure laws. This
information can be obtained by the specific local and federal government

| Making the Deal A buyer has made an offer - now it is time to negotiate. Rely on your real estate professional to guide you through this process. He or she will help you arrive at an acceptable price, terms and conditions. Once you have accepted an offer, help keep the deal together by meeting deadlines and criteria, including home inspections, appropriate buyer visits, scheduled deposits and other steps. In fact, during this period there may be a renegotiation of the accepted offer price depending on the outcomes of these visits. As the closing nears, you may also need to perform repairs or do additional work to the house as agreed upon in your contract. In addition, you will need to have the house "broom clean" prior to the closing so that the buyer can complete a final walk through. When you finally arrive at the closing table, come prepared with the appropriate certificates and approvals as required by your town, county and state. Ask the appropriate agency or get a list of what you need from your local Office. Once the money has exchanged hands and all the papers signed it's time to hand over the keys and concentrate on your next big project - getting YOUR new home in order. |

HOME SELLING
Selling a home is a big decision and requires a lot of work. From getting the house ready to reviewing the escrow papers, our helpful guide will walk you through the
process of selling your home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready?
The home-selling process typically starts several months before a property is made available for sale. It's necessary to look at a home through the eyes of a prospective buyer and determine what needs to be cleaned, painted,
repaired and tossed out.
Ask yourself: If you were buying this home what would you want to see? The goal is to show a home which looks good, maximizes space and attracts as many buyers - and as much demand - as possible.
While part of the "getting ready" phase relates to repairs, painting and other home improvements, this is also a good time to ask why you really want to sell.
Selling a home is an important matter and there should be a good reason to sell - perhaps a job change to a new community or the need for more space. Your reason for selling can impact the negotiating process so it's
important to discuss your needs and wants in private with the REALTOR® who lists your home.

How do you improve your home's value?
The general rule in real estate is that buyers seek the least expensive home in the best
neighborhood they can afford. In terms of improvements, this means you want a home that
fits in the neighborhood but is not over-improved. For example, if most homes in your
neighborhood have three bedrooms, two baths and 2,500 sq. ft. of finished space, a
property with five bedrooms, more baths and far more space would likely be priced much
higher and likely be more difficult to sell.
Improvements should be made so that the property shows well, is consistent with the
neighborhood and does not involve capital investments, the cost of which cannot be
recovered from the sale. Furthermore, improvements should reflect community preferences.
Cosmetic improvements - paint, wallpaper and landscaping - help a home "show"
better and often are good investments. Mechanical repairs - to ensure that all systems and
appliances are in good working condition - are required to get a top price.
Ideally, you want to be sure that your property is competitive with other homes available in
the community. REALTORS®, who see numerous homes, can provide suggestions that are
consistent with your marketplace.

Maximizing exterior and curb appeal
Before putting your house on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little
money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal. Tips to enhance your home’
s exterior and curb appeal:
Keep the lawn edged, cut and watered regularly.
Trim hedges, weed lawns and flowerbeds, and prune trees regularly.
Check the foundation, steps, walkways, walls and patios for cracks and crumbling.
Inspect doors and windows for peeling paint.
Clean and align gutters.
Inspect and clean the chimney.
Repair and replace loose or damaged roof shingles.
Repair and repaint loose siding and caulking.
In Northern winters, keep walks neatly cleared of snow and ice.
During spring and summer months consider adding a few showy annuals, perhaps in pots,
near your front entrance.
Re-seal an asphalt driveway.
Keep your garage door closed.
Store RVs or old and beaten up cars elsewhere while the house is on the market.
Apply a fresh coat of paint to the front door.

| Maximizing interior appeal Enhance your home’s interior by: Giving every room in the house a thorough cleaning, as well as removing all clutter. This alone will make your house appear bigger and brighter. Some homeowners with crowded rooms have actually rented storage garages and moved half their furniture out, creating a sleeker, more spacious look. For Your Home Want to give your home a new look? Find advice and inspiration in our decorating section. Hiring a professional cleaning service, once every few weeks while the house is on the market. This may be a good investment for owners who are busy elsewhere. Removing the less frequently used, even daily used items from kitchen counters, closets, and attics, making these areas much more inviting. Since you're anticipating a move anyhow, holding a garage sale at this point is a great idea. If necessary, repainting dingy, soiled or strongly colored walls with a neutral shade of paint, such as off-white or beige. The same neutral scheme can be applied to carpets and linoleum. Checking for cracks, leaks and signs of dampness in the attic and basement. Repairing cracks, holes or damage to plaster, wallboard, wallpaper, paint, and tiles. Replacing broken or cracked windowpanes, moldings, and other woodwork. Inspecting and repairing the plumbing, heating , cooling, and alarm systems. Repairing dripping faucets and showerheads. Buying showy new towels for the bathroom, to be brought out only when prospective buyers are on the way. Sprucing up a kitchen in need of more major remodeling by investing in new cabinet knobs, new curtains, or a coat of neutral paint. |
Tips for Making Your Home More Saleable
Before you put your home on the market, there are some things you can do to differentiate your house among the
competitors.
When preparing to put your home up for sale, your first concern is the home's exterior. If the outside, or "curb
appeal" looks good, people will more than likely want to see what's on the inside. Keep the lawn and landscape
nicely manicured. Trim the bushes and season permitting, plant some flowers. Be sure your front door area has a
"Welcome" feeling. A fresh coat of paint on the front door looks great.
Of all the rooms inside your home, pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. They should look as
modern, bright and fresh as possible. It is essential for them to be clean and odor free. A fresh coat of paint just
may do the trick. Have any leaky faucets taken care of. A call to a plumber is a wise investment.
For Your Home
Our home improvement section features how-to tips and important information about repairing and remodeling
your home.
Since you want your home to look as spacious as possible, remove any excess or very large furniture. Make sure
that table tops, dressers and closets are free of clutter. Don't use your garage, attic, or basement to store these
extra things. These areas also need to have the impression of space. Instead, put them into storage. Make sure
walls and doors are free of smudges and look for anything that might indicate a maintenance problem, such as
cracked windows, holes in the wall or stained ceilings.
Finally, if your basement shows any signs of dampness or leakage, seal the walls.
Quick tips for showings:
Keep counter tops cleared
Replace all burned out lightbulbs
Open all drapes and window blinds
Put pets in cages or take them to a neighbor
No dirty dishes in the sink
No laundry in the washer/dryer
Clean or replace dirty or worn carpets
Put on soft music
Burn wood in the fireplace on cold days, otherwise, the fireplace should be clean
Always look at your home from the buyer's point of view. Be objective and be honest.
