Phillip Phillips talks about making this place your home…..so how do you accomplish that on a budget?  Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you will make in your life so be prepared to give it some time and energy.
In my floating home world, we say POWER WASH!  But in my land market place I say, wash your windows, steam clean your carpets, box up everything and put it someplace else in neat stacks, Do a clean sweep of all your floors, wax and shine, paint your wood work, buy a box of magic erasers and use them on walls, door jambs, cupboard doors. Clean your bathrooms, hide the plunger…..did I say HIDE THE PLUNGER??? Well, hide the plunger.
Oh, you have a dog? I love dogs! But…..vacuum every single day. Wash the dog bed, clean out the dog bowls, and for Heaven’s sake, pick up the dog poop in your yard….every day!
Do small repairs. I know they are small items, but buyer’s don’t want to take them on. Tighten the hinges, oil the squeaks, regrout or caulk the bathrooms, fix the running toilet.
Look at the front door of your house! Paint it (black is good, or red…) wash the porch, sweep the cob webs, remember…you are inviting in an investor who wants to see themselves living in your home. They are bringing you the money. Make them feel welcome!
