No doubt about it selling a home is stressful. Life is a fishbowl offers little privacy and few rewards. Which is why you want to do all you can to make your stay in such a highly visible state as short as possible.
A thorough home makeover can help move the process along. Giving you a proven way to woo would be buyers on first sight. That would be from the curb. And continue to draw them in as they tour your house. Creating the impression yours is the most maintenance free situation they can possibly imagine moving into.
Now if you can possibly scare up even $1000 a low cost (read cosmetic) home makeover is within your reach. Maybe not a dazzling remodel. But something good enough to make your house stand out from the competing houses on the market. All clamoring for attention from the same pool buyers you're trying to attract.
That's correct. A mere handful of dollars targeted where it will do the most good along with a willingness to get things Q-tip clean is possible and is what you're aiming for. In other words you want to leave your home cleaner than you could ever imagine it being. All to amp up a buyer's latent desire to move in.
Naturally there are a couple of areas that deserve immediate attention. Inside that would be the kitchen and bath. Those are the two most important rooms in the house in fact. Plus the impression made by the front entrance as seen when pulling up to the curb is also vitally important.
Plus you want to eliminate anything that might generate an "Oh Yuck" response on sight. Any flaw fitting that description has to be fixed, resolved or replaced. Be it an oil stain on the drive that rivals the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Or a set in Kool-aid stain sitting in the middle of the living room carpet.
So take a good hard look at the front entrance. Does is invite with a "Welcome. Come on in?" look? If not that's an image easily created by a shiny, new, brass mailbox, freshly painted front door, new door hardware and shrubbery that is nicely trimmed and framed by plantings appropriate for the season.
When it comes to the kitchen and bathrooms let me ask you. What kind of impression will the bathroom vanity make upon closer inspection? Is the grout or caulking white and sparkling or somewhat less so? Would a new faucet make a difference?
How are the kitchen appliances? Consider replacing the oldest among them. Especially if it sports a name badge of a manufacturer that went out of business decades ago.
Overall you want to de-clutter and deep clean well before the For Sale sign hits your front yard. Using a brand new house as your bench mark. Because your house may well be compared to one and needs to measure up.
Believe it or not your house can't be too clean, the front entrance can't look too inviting, and the kitchen can't be too charming. At least not if you are intent on turning more than a few buyers' heads so as to sell your home sooner rather than later. - 30229
