"You never get a second chance to make a first impression!"

Take an objective look at your home

    First the outside:  Are the walkways clear of yard debris?  Is there any peeling paint on your front porch or fr
ont door?  A simple coat of paint on a front door can do wonders.  Be sure your windows are clean, and put some pots of flowers on the front porch for some added color.

    Inside:  Are there any visible cobwebs?  Now is the time for that deep cleaning you've been thinking of doing.  Have the carpets cleaned, eliminate any odors.  Put away all clutter, invest in under-bed boxes to hide items from view.  Use the highest wattage bulbs permitted by your light fixtures.  Are your rooms too crowded?  You may need to put some furniture items in storage.  The general rule is, if you can't walk easily through the room there's too much stuff.

    If you think your flooring or wallpaper needs to be replaced, better to do it before it goes on the market.  Sellers always ask, "Won't the buyer want to pick the color?"  Possibly, but they may not become serious about the house if they think it needs too much work. 

     If your home is bright and sparkling clean, buyers are much more likely to pay you what you rightly deserve for your home!  Call or email Lynn if you need assistance in "staging" your home for the market.
