Selling? Within the first 15 SECONDS, a buyer has already developed an opinion of your home!! Here are a few things you can do to be sure that very first impression is a good one:

1. Improve curb appeal. (Remove toys, paint front door, prune shrubs, keep walks and driveways clear of snow, etc)
2. Paint walls which are dinged and scuffed and clean all dirty carpets. Keep all colors neutral.
3. Get Rid of Clutter! Remove excess furniture, knick-knacks, extra wall decorations, etc.
4. Have a home inspection done and then address the items which need to be repaired.
5. Eliminate odors. Nothing turns a buyer off faster than a smelly house.

While it may seem like a hassle to do these things now, when you realize the best price for your property in the shortest period of time, you’ll be glad you made the effort!
