PREPARING TO LIST YOUR HOME

First Impressions: Often, the first minute or two that a buyer walks into a home is when they determine whether they can live there or not.

If that's the case, shouldn't you try to stage the home in the best possible way? Here are 13 simple and inexpensive tips to spruce up any home within minutes.

1. Place a new "Welcome" mat at the entrance
2. Add mulch to the flower beds and shrubs
3. Clear foyers of any clutter of furniture. Clean light fixtures and scrub floors.
4. Put away all collections - yes ALL collections
5. Remove all crowed furniture from living room; open space is best
6. Cover dining room table with white cloth and top with fresh flowers
7. Remove all magnets and pictures from refrigerator
8. Stow all small appliances under cabinets in order to display a clear counter
9. Spruce up old bathrooms with white towels, window treatments and scatter rugs
10. Remove bulkier furniture from bedrooms and they will appear larger
11. Organize closets so they appear roomy
12. Remove stains from garage, deck or patio floors
13. Make sure all outdoor furniture is clean, orderly and not excessive.

The old saying, "you never have a second chance to make a good impression," applies not only to people, but also to homes. With a little cleanliness, clutter-free and color, you can entice buyers to say to themselves, "I've always wanted to live like this," Which will sell a home a whole lot faster than you might think.

If you found the above helpful you might want to ask Marnie for copies of her other seller information sheets. they are not all presented here in order to keep this site useful and uncluttered.
