Thinking of Selling YOur Home?
April 3, 2012
Are you thinking of selling your home? If the answer is "Yes" it is time to look at your home through a prospective buyer's eyes. Start with de cluttering it. If you have limited closet or storage space, think about closet organizers or adding storage closets in the garage. If your kitchen was built or remodeled prior to the 21st century, think of replacing cupboard hardware with more up-to-date handles. For some reason the preferred look is brushed chrome or steel for cupboard handles. The same finish is also true for plumbing faucets. Changing a faucet can give an updated look to a kitchen.
Always fresh paint can improve the look of a home. Check both the exterior and interior for chipped paint. For sure scrape away the chips.
Check the shrubbery around your home. If it has become overgrown, it is time to get out the trimmers and trim the shrubs. If you have palm trees, it would be good to remove all the hanging brown fronds - if the breezy days have not already caused them to fall.
There are really many things that a homeowner can do to improve the appeal of a property without massive expenditures of money.
It can often be useful to take pictures of your home, both interior and exterior. I did it to my home and was amazed to see items that would have to be changed before I ever put my house on the market. I love my navy blue bedspread with the cabbage roses, the matching draperies and upholstered chair, but OMG, in a photo, they screamed "Tone me down."
If you Google "Home Improvements" you will find some sites that offer some really good tips.
Of course, if you call a professional real estate agent, they can also offer tips that will help to sell your home.
