Your home should look great when it goes on the market. When you are ready to
list your home, I recommend that you go through each room with a critical eye.
What should you look for? Start with the ceiling; look for any cracks or water
stains, then inspect the condition of the paint and wallpaper. Make sure that
the windows are clean and window treatments are attractive. All of the closets
and storage spaces should be neat and organized (a cluttered closet looks
smaller!). If the rooms seem cluttered with too much furniture, you can create a
more spacious look by storing your "overflow". A well-maintained house
tends to sell much quicker than one where buyers must use a lot of imagination.
The condition of your house will help to determine the selling price; the better
the house looks, the better your chances of selling it for top dollar. I can
help you identify the repairs and cleaning that will increase your home's
marketability.
