1
PRICE BELOW MARKET VALUE
Pricing your home slightly below Market Value can create urgency to active buyers who know the market. Increasing the odds of multiple offers.
2
BRIGHTEN UP THE ROOMS
A dark room can feel small and cluttered. Clean the windows, open the blinds and turn on the lights.
3
CLEAN OUT THE CLOSETS
Remove 50% of everything in the closet and pack it away. Buyers want to see more closet space and less clutter.
4
PAINT THE FRONT DOOR
Make your Home stand out! A freshly pointed door can leave a great first impression to an excited home buyer and if money and/or time permits give the house a new exterior paint job. This will add life to the home and increase value when an appraisal is done.
5
ENHANCE THE LANDSCAPING
Spruce up the landscaping! I can’t express this enough… Curb appeal – Curb appeal – Curb appeal… The front of your house is the first thing Buyers see online and when they pull-up in the driveway. This has been statistically proven over and over to be the number one thing that first attracts a potential buyer to your home.
6
STAIN DECK AND DRIVEWAY
Staining your driveway is simple and cost effective. Cover up those old oil spots and make it look new again. Again, Curb appeal – Curb appeal!
7
PAINT WALLS NEUTRAL COLOR
Painting the rooms throughout the house a neutral color is less distracting and can be more comforting for visitors. Also, remember the lighter the color the larger the space appears and vice – versa the darker the color the smaller the space appears.
8
CLEAN. CLEAN. CLEAN.
Make sure your home is clean from all odors and debris. Clean up before every showing:
- ›Vacuum.
- ›Wash floors.
- ›Clean windows and blinds.
- ›Clean baseboards.
9
PACK AWAY PICTURE FRAMES
De-personalize. Take the time to pack away and declutter the home of certain items like pictures, trophies and awards.

KITCHEN IMPROVEMENTS
No matter your budget you can always make improvements to your kitchen that can make a big difference, such as fresh coat of paint.
