No doubt about it selling a home is stressful. Life is a fishbowl offers little privacy and few things to look forward to. Which is why you want to do all you can to make your stay in such a highly visible state as short as possible.
To minimize your stay in stressed out mode you want to do all you can to impress would be buyers on first sight. And to do that you want to make them feel they’re being wooed. That starts with curb appeal. And is continued by presenting the appearance of the most maintenance-free home they can imagine themselves in. Because after going through all the packing and unpacking involved in a move who wants to deal with a toilet over flow at 1:00 AM their first week in the place?
Now if you can possibly find even $1000 a low cost (read cosmetic) home makeover can be yours. 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 right. A few bucks combined with ample elbow grease can spiff up your house better than you might think possible. And yes, it does need to be clean beyond anything you might imagine to successfully lure in your replacement owner sooner rather than later.
The areas to focus on should be obvious. They include the front door entrance combined with tending to any issues in the two most important rooms: the kitchen and any bathrooms.
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 baths what kind of impression will the side of the vanity next to the commode make? If it’s anything less than awesome, replace it. Do the same with caulking around the tub or any faucet that’s developed a chronic leak.
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.
Before the listing hits the MLS, you want to get the deep cleaning and de-cluttering out of the way. It can’t hurt to visit a model home to see what you’re up against since that might be a good standard to compare to. Because you can bet some buyers will be doing just that. Comparing your house to a new build.
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.
