Tips when Selling Your Home By Owner:

DO:          Clear personal photos from counters, tables and fireplace mantels                             DON’T:   Remove all artwork & photos from your walls. Sterile is not a good look.

DO:          Reduce books and knik knaks from your bookcase or built-ins                                    DON’T:   Create an attractive display of your books w/some frames , candles & small items

DO:          Clear clutter from closets including racks, shelves & floor                                           DON’T:    Just throw everything into a laundry basket or open box/bin. Move it out!

DO:           Have Kitchen & Bathroom counters CLEAR in photos & for showings.                     DON’T:     Just throw it all a basket at the end of the counter. Clear means clear!

DO:          Pack up your off season clothes including coats, jackets, sweatshirts, etc.                 DON’T:    Spread the clothes out into other closets.  Everyone wants closet space!

DO:           Clean out your kitchen cabinets/pantry. Pack up holiday or seasonal dishes.    DON’T:    Assume that buyers won’t open your cabinets, pantry, etc. Serious ones will!

DO:            Be honest and precise when answering your prospective buyers questions.      DON’T:     Talk non-stop while showing your home. Share details then be quiet.

DO:            Have a Guest Book open for open house attendees to leave their info.                     DON’T:      Force the issue if someone doesn’t want to sign it. Always be friendly!

DO:             Freshen walls, trim & cabinets with a good cleaning. Paint if necessary.                 DON’T:      Get so overwhelmed with making things ‘perfect’ that you lose market time.

DO:             Put excess furniture, bins, boxes, etc in storage unit/pod IF you can afford it. DON’T:      Take on excessive debt in preparing your home for sale. Stay smart!
