When it comes to getting your property ready to go on the market, most of the emphasis is on preparing the home.  The garage is an often-overlooked feature that can have an impact on the sale.  In order to maximize the sale potential, here are a few tips:

• De-clutter the garage.  Get rid of as much “stuff” as you can.
• Sort like items together.  Keeping similar things together make the space look more organized.
• Use storage racks, bookcases, shelving units to organize.
• Sweep out the garage.  Remove cobwebs, oil spills, etc.
• Paint the doors if they need it.
• Add garage door openers – many potential buyers consider this a priority.
• Make sure your garage is adequately lighted.

Follow these basic guidelines and your garage will become an attractive feature adding value and desirability in the sale of your home. Feel free to give me a call for any of your real estate needs.  As always, I appreciate your referrals!  603-526-4116
