10 Ways To Make Your House More SellableRadford, VA real estate, New River Valley Real Estate, Blacksburg Virginia Real Estate
- Get rid of clutter.
Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines.
Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season
clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage.
- Wash your windows and
screens to let more light into the interior.
- Keep everything extra
clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop
and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean
house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers
that the home has been well cared for.
- Get rid of smells. Clean
carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke,
and pet smells. Open the windows.
- Put higher wattage bulbs
in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially
basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out
bulbs.
- Make minor repairs that
can create a bad impression. Small problems such as sticky
doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet
may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression
that the house isn’t well maintained.
- Tidy your yard. Cut
the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge
the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the
entryway.
- Patch holes in your
driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
- Clean your gutters.
- Polish
your front doorknob and door numbers.
