A well polished house will sell faster and for more money than a neighbor who has not taken the time to prepare their home to be sold.  Most buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a well cared for home and are usually willing to pay more!  Before putting your home on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal.  Here are a few tips to help you:

1.  Your home must have curb appeal!  Potential buyers will make a decision if your home is a top contender within seconds of walking up to your home.  Many buyers will also often drive by a property before making the decision to see the inside.  Make sure your lawn is mowed, flower beds are neatly kept, shrubs are trimmed and your front door is clean and freshly stained or painted.

2.  In order to see your home through the buyers eyes, you must emotionally detach yourself by depersonalizing and de-cluttering your home.  Take down family photos, clean out closets and clear all surfaces of picture frames and knick-knacks.  Your home should be neat and orderly in order to showcase it positively!  Take the time to clean, freshly paint walls using neutral colors and make repairs.

3.  Finally, potential buyers start their search for a home on line.  It is very important to make sure you choose a realtor who will showcase your home with professional photos.  Getting your home noticed on line takes pictures with professional lighting and angles to give buyers the best possible view of your property. 

At Frankie Arthur & Associates, we have an Interior Designer on staff to assist you with this process.  In addition, we have the best professional photographer who will showcase every angle of your home in a positive light.  We use these pictures on over 400 websites to give your home maximum coverage on line.
