Why didn’t your home sell the first time on the market?

1. Was it overpriced?
2. Did the home look its best? Were up advise you to de-clutter, paint or make repairs and perform general clean up?
3. Was the property easy to show, were you available for appointment or did you have a lockbox?
4. Did your real estate agent host open houses?
5. Was the property listed on highly recognizable real estate websites?

You’ve been through preparing your home for sale once already, yet it’s possible you may have missed something simple. These tips are obvious, but we’ve found each one is extremely valuable:

1. Make a good first impression. An attractive approach includes a trim lawn and a clean inviting door.
2. Nothing brightens your home’s appeal like fresh paint, gleaming appliances, and sparkling bathrooms.
3. Remove excess furniture, clear off stairways and remember that neat well-organized closets look larger.
4. Fix minor flaws in the house. Never overlook a repair job that might suggest neglect to a prospect.
