A Few More Suggestions
● If you have limited counter space in the kitchen, keep unnecessary items put away.
● Keep children’s toys out of the front yard, sidewalks and front porch.
● Recognize the difference between decorator touches and clutter or sterility.
● Clean the ashes out of the fireplace.
● Make sure the pull-down staircase works correctly, if you have one. Be sure there is a light in the attic.
● The pool needs to be clean and sparkling and free of leaves and insects.

For Those Willing to go the Extra Mile
● There are some things you can do that will really add flair to your home. If your house is the least bit dated, changing out wallpaper in the entry, kitchen or bathrooms and replacing outdated light fixtures.
● Fresh paint on interior and/or exterior where needed.
● New appliances in the kitchen can be an exciting feature that can actually make the difference in a buyer choosing your home over another.
Showing Your Home
● When you leave the house in the morning or during the day, leave it as if you know it is going to be shown.
● Keep good scents in the house, such as potpourri or simmering pots or candles.
● Make sure all the lights are on and window treatments are open.
● Keep pets out of the way----preferably out of the house. Many people are acutely uncomfortable around some animals and may even be allergic to them.
● Turn off the television. Leave soft music playing.
● Leave the premises. Take a short break while your home is being shown. Buyers are intimidated when sellers are present and tend to hurry through the house. Let the buyer be at ease, and let the agents do their job.
I will need from you:
A key to all locks.
A copy of your property tax bill.
A list of the special things about your property, such as alarm system, special wiring and unique features.
Alarm code.
An accurate mortgage balance, if there is one.
Honesty, especially in the case of foreclosure, bankruptcy and liens.
For your protection:
Put away all prescription medications.
Personal paperwork should be out of plain view.
For your information:
I get emails from the SWMLS that inform me when and who has been in the property.
I am available at any time for your questions and concerns.
The lockboxes are programmed to allow access only between certain hours. If you want to deviate from the hours I have selected, let me know and we can change the settings to accommodate you and your family.
