Selling Your Home
When you show your home to
prospective buyers, you want it to
look as attractive as possible. The
following tips will help.
— Remove all unnecessary articles
from your basement and attic.
Strive for an uncluttered look. If
necessary, brighten dark basement
walls with a coat of paint.
— Arrange bedrooms so they look
as large as possible. Remove excess
furniture and use freshly laundered
curtains.
Kitchens and bathrooms are
showcase areas for cleanliness.
Check and repair caulking in
bathtubs and showers, and make
sure these rooms sparkle.
— When showing your home,
avoid having too many people
present. The potential buyer will
feel like an intruder and will hurry
through the house. Keep pets out
of the way.
