Pre Sale Suggestions

Be sure that the yard and house are neat and clean.  

Curb appeal will help people to stop and take a closer look at your home.  

  

Remove inside clutter; remove extra furniture and pets. If the house is full of too many items the buyer can not see how

your house would fit their needs.

Store items at a friend’s house or rent a storage unit.   

Make repairs inside and out.   

Most homes will have a home inspection and repairs will be needed. It is better to do repairs before they interfere with a potential sale. 

A pre home inspection will help you decide what needs to be done.
