What if I have Another Home To SELL?????

SELL FIRST, THEN BUY

If you have a house to sell, sell it before selecting a house to buy! I haven't seen a contingent sale work in the last 3 years, unless it's with a new home builder who has other houses to sell and can afford to put one on a contingency.

 

Selling Your House Part Two

Selling your home Part-2

Now that you have great curb appeal that will lure your buyers inside, you have to live up to their expectations.  There are plenty of easy fixes you can do to meet those expectations.  Cleaning is so very important.  Your windows, floors, and bath tiles should sparkle.  Make sure you have clean heating and air conditioner filters.  Shampoo dirty carpets, clean tubs and showers, fix dripping faucets and oil squeaky doors.  It may not seem too important but a peek into your oven may be the standard that buyers judge your home by.

Your garage, basement, and attic should be neat and tidy and uncluttered.  Put away anything that is very personal such as a lot of family pictures.  You want the buyers focused on imagining their selves in this house not looking at all of your things. If you have too much furniture in the space consider putting a lot of t in storage.  Take as much off the walls as possible and repaint a neutral color.  If people think they have hundreds of nail holes to patch it may turn them off.

Cosmetic changes do not have to cost a lot of money.  It is attention to detail that screams this home has been well maintained and will get the price you want.
