Buying real estate is often an emotional decision, but when selling real estate you need to remove emotion from the equation.\u00a0 You need to think of your house as a marketable commodity. Property. Real estate. Your goal is to get others to see it as <strong><em>their<\/em><\/strong> potential home, not yours. If you do not consciously make this decision, you can inadvertently create a situation where it takes longer to sell your property.\u00a0 The first step in getting your home ready to sell is to &#8220;de-personalize&#8221; it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">De-personalize the House<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The reason you want to &#8220;de-personalize&#8221; your home is because you want buyers to view it as <em><strong>their <\/strong><\/em>potential home. When a potential homebuyer sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on the home and momentarily shatters their illusions about owning the house. Therefore, put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs. Put them in a box. Rent a storage area for a few months and put the box in the storage unit.\u00a0 Do not just put the box in the attic, basement, garage or a closet. Part of preparing a house for sale is to remove &#8220;clutter,&#8221; and that is the next step in preparing your house for sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><strong>Removing Clutter, Though You May Not Think of it as Clutter<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">This is the hardest thing for most people to do because they are emotionally attached to everything in the house. After years of living in the same home, clutter collects in such a way that may not be evident to the homeowner. However, it does affect the way buyers see the home, even if you do not realize it. Clutter collects on shelves, counter tops, drawers, closets, garages, attics, and basements.\u00a0 Take a step back and pretend you are a buyer. Let a friend help point out areas of clutter, as long as you can accept their views without getting defensive. Let your agent help you, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Kitchen Clutter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The kitchen is a good place to start removing clutter, because it is an easy place to start. First, get everything off the counters. Everything. Even the toaster. Put the toaster in a cabinet and take it out when you use it. Find a place where you can store everything in cabinets and drawers. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. Clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage, too.\u00a0 You see, homebuyers will open all your cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen. They want to be sure there is enough room for their &#8220;stuff.&#8221; If your kitchen cabinets, pantries, and drawers look jammed full, it sends a negative message to the buyer and does not promote an image of plentiful storage space. The best way to do that is to have as much &#8220;empty space&#8221; as possible.\u00a0 For that reason, if you have a &#8220;junk drawer,&#8221; get rid of the junk. If you have a rarely used crock pot, put it in storage. Do this with every cabinet and drawer. Create open space.\u00a0 If you have a large amount of foodstuffs crammed into the shelves or pantry, begin using them \u2013 especially canned goods. Canned goods are heavy and you don\u2019t want to be lugging them to a new house, anyway \u2013 or paying a mover to do so. Let what you have on the shelves determine your menus and use up as much as you can.\u00a0 Beneath the sink is very critical, too. Make sure the area beneath the sink is as empty as possible, removing all extra cleaning supplies. You should scrub the area down as well, and determine if there are any tell-tale signs of water leaks that may cause a homebuyer to hesitate in buying your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Closet Clutter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Closets are great for accumulating clutter, though you may not think of it as clutter. We are talking about extra clothes and shoes \u2013 things you rarely wear but cannot bear to be without. Do without these items for a couple of months by putting them in a box, because these items can make your closets look &#8220;crammed full.&#8221; Sometimes there are shoeboxes full of &#8220;stuff&#8221; or other accumulated personal items, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Furniture Clutter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Many people have too much furniture in certain rooms \u2013 not too much for your own personal living needs \u2013 but too much to give the illusion of space that a homebuyer would like to see. You may want to tour some builders\u2019 models to see how they place furniture in the model homes. Observe how they place furniture in the models so you get some ideas on what to remove and what to leave in your house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Storage Area Clutter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Basements, garages, attics, and sheds accumulate not only clutter, but junk. These areas should be as empty as possible so that buyers can imagine what they would do with the space. Remove anything that is not essential and take it to the storage area.\u00a0 Or have a garage sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">Fixing Up the House Interior<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Plumbing and Fixtures<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">All your sink fixtures should look shiny and new. If this cannot be accomplished by cleaning, buy new ones where needed. If you don\u2019t buy something fancy, this can be accomplished inexpensively and they are fairly easy to install. Make sure all the hot and cold water knobs are easy to turn and that the faucets do not leak. If they do, replace the washers. It is not difficult at all.\u00a0 Check to make sure you have good water pressure and that there are no stains on any of the porcelain. If you have a difficult stain to remove, one trick is to hire a cleaning crew to go through and clean your home on a one-time basis. They seem to be wonderful at making stains go away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Ceilings, Walls and Painting<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Check all the ceilings for water stains. Sometimes old leaks leave stains, even after you have repaired the leak. Of course, if you do have a leak, you will have to get it repaired, whether it is a plumbing problem or the roof leaks.\u00a0 You should do the same for walls, looking for not only stains, but also areas where dirt has accumulated and you just may not have noticed. Plus, you may have an outdated color scheme.\u00a0 Painting can be your best investment when selling your home. It is not a very expensive operation and often you can do it yourself. Do not choose colors based on your own preferences, but based on what would appeal to the widest possible number of buyers. You should almost always choose an off-white color because white helps your rooms appear bright and spacious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Carpet and Flooring<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Unless your carpet appears old and worn, or it is definitely an outdated style or color, you probably should do nothing more than hire a good carpet cleaner. If you do choose to replace it, do so with something inexpensive in a fairly neutral color.\u00a0 Repair or replace broken floor tiles, but do not spend a lot of money on anything. Remember, you are not fixing up the place for yourself. You want to move. Your goal is simply to have as few negative impressions upon those who may want to purchase your property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Windows and Doors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Check all of your windows to make sure they open and close easily. If not, a spray of WD40 often helps. Make sure there are no cracked or broken windowpanes. If there are, replace them before you begin showing your home.\u00a0 Do the same things with the doors \u2013 make sure they open and close properly, without creaking. If they do, a shot of WD40 on the hinges usually makes the creak go away. Be sure the doorknobs turn easily, and that they are cleaned and polished to look sharp. As buyers go from room to room, someone opens each door and you want to do everything necessary to create a positive impression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Odor Control<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">For those who smoke, you might want to minimize smoking indoors while trying to sell your home. You could also purchase an ozone spray that helps to remove odors without creating a masking odor.\u00a0 Pets of all kinds create odors that you may have become used to, but are immediately noticeable to those with more finely tuned olfactory senses. For those with cats, be sure to empty kitty litter boxes daily. There are also products that you can sprinkle in a layer below the kitty litter that helps to control odor. For those with dogs, keep the dog outdoors as much as possible. You might also try sprinkling carpet freshener on the carpet on a periodic basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Costs of Repairs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Do not do anything expensive, such as remodeling. If possible, use savings to pay for any repairs and improvements \u2013 do not go charging up credit cards or obtaining new loans. Remember that part of selling a house is also preparing to buy your next home. You do not want to do anything that will affect your credit scores or hurt your ability to qualify for your next mortgage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">Fixing Up Outside the House<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Most real estate advice tells you to work on the outside of the house first, but unless there is a major project involved, we believe it is best to do it last. There are two main reasons for this. First, the first steps in preparing the interior of the house are easier. They also help develop the proper mind set required for selling &#8211; beginning to think of your &#8220;home&#8221; as a marketable commodity. Second, the exterior is the most important. A homebuyer\u2019s first impression is based on his or her view of the house from the real estate agent\u2019s car.\u00a0 So take a walk across the street and take a good look at your house. Look at nearby houses, too, and see how yours compares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Landscaping<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Is your landscaping at least average for the neighborhood? If it is not, buy a few bushes and plant them. Do not put in trees. Mature trees are expensive, and you will not get back your investment. Also, immature trees do not really add much to the appearance value of the home.\u00a0 If you have an area for flowers, buy mature colorful flowers and plant them. They add a splash of vibrancy and color, creating a favorable first impression. Do not buy bulbs or seeds and plant them. They will not mature fast enough to create the desired effect and you certainly don\u2019t want a patch of brown earth for homebuyers to view.\u00a0 Your lawn should be evenly cut, freshly edged, well watered, and free of brown spots. If there are problems with your lawn, you should probably take care of them before working on the inside of your home. This is because certain areas may need re-soding, and you want to give it a chance to grow so that re-sod areas are not immediately apparent. Plus, you might want to give fertilizer enough time to be effective.\u00a0 Always rake up loose leaves and grass cuttings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">House Exterior<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The big decision is whether to paint or not to paint. When you look at your house from across the street, does it look tired and faded? If so, a paint job may be in order. It is often a very good investment and really spruces up the appearance of a house, adding dollars to offers from potential home buyers.\u00a0 When choosing a color, it should not be something garish and unusual, but a color that fits well in your neighborhood. Of course, the color also depends on the style of your house, too. For some reason, different shades of yellow seem to elicit the best response in homebuyers, whether it is in the trim or the basic color of the house.\u00a0 As for the roof, if you know your house has an old leaky roof, replace it. If you do not replace a leaky roof, you are going to have to disclose it and the buyer will want a new roof, anyway. Otherwise, wait and see what the home inspector says. Why spend money unnecessarily?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The Back Yard<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The back yard should be tidy. If you have a pool or spa, keep it freshly maintained and constantly cleaned. For those that have dogs, be sure to constantly keep the area clear of &#8220;debris.&#8221; If you have swing sets or anything elaborate for your kids, it probably makes more sense to remove them than to leave them in place. They take up room, and you want your back yard to appear as spacious as possible, especially in newer homes where the yards are not as large.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The Front Door &amp; Entryway<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The front door should be especially sharp, since it is the entryway into the house. Polish the door fixture so it gleams. If the door needs refinishing or repainting, make sure to get that done.\u00a0 If you have a cute little plaque or shingle with your family name on it, remove it. Even if it is just on the mailbox. You can always put it up again once you move. Get a new plush door mat, too. This is something else you can take with you once you move.\u00a0 Make sure the lock works easily and the key fits properly. When a homebuyer comes to visit your home, the agent uses the key from the lock box to unlock the door. If there is trouble working the lock while everyone else stands around twiddling their thumbs, this sends a negative first impression to prospective homebuyers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting Your House Ready to Sell Introduction &#8211;
