Sellers need to think like buyers



When it comes time to sell your home it's important as the seller to think like the buyer. 

Stumbling blocks at inspection time.


If you were the buyer wouldn't you want to know the furnace is in good working order,  the windows are good and the roof doesn't need work?  These are the areas that quite often become the stumbling block once a home inspection has been completed. 

If you are going to receive top dollar for your home then the big ticket items must also be a reflection of the price you expect to receive for your home. 

One thing to do that won't cost you a fortune.


There are many things that can be done that won't cost an arm and a leg, but if taken care of can help in the sale of your home.   One question sellers often ask is; "should I give the place a fresh coat of paint?"  The answer to that question is most often, yes. 



If you as the seller are wondering about the need of painting the place, there is a strong possibility that the buyer is going to see the need even more than you do.  Even though a buyer might turn around and repaint rooms as soon as they move in, there is still a huge benefit for the seller to add a fresh coat of paint, in neutral tones, to the main rooms of the home.

A fresh coat of paint will assist in making the home look like it has been maintained and it will look cleaner.  Both are important reasons that confirm that investing in a little paint is a good thing to get the price a seller is hoping for.

There are many other simple things you can do to make your home stand out from other homes on the market and I will post more tips in the coming weeks.
