Help For Selling Your Property

As a homeowner, you play an important part in the timely sale of your property. Help us, help you.

THAT FIRST IMPRESSION

A well manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter free porch welcome prospective home owners. So does a freshly painted, or at least freshly scrubbed front door. If it's autumn, rake the leaves. If it's winter, keep the walkways clear. The fewer the obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.

INVEST A FEW HOURS

Here is your chance to clean up in real estate. Clean up in the living room, the bathroom, and the kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, consider some minor redecoration. Fresh wallpaper or paint adds charm and value to your property. Potential home owners would rather see how great your home really looks than hear how great it COULD look, with a "little work".

CHECK FAUCETS AND BULBS

Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors the sink, and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs leave potential home owners in the dark. Don't let little problems detract from what's right with your home.

DON'T SHUT OUT A SALE

If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will also stick in a prospect's mind. Don't try to explain away sticky situations when you can easily plane them away. A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a quick closing.
