home trophies

The first step is to depersonalize your house. In other words, make the house as impersonal as possible. You are selling a house, not your "home". Potential buyers want to visualize how they can "do up" the house when and if they decide to buy it. They do not need to see your family history on the mantelpiece. So, put away all photographs, trophies and knick-knacks.
The next and most obvious step would be a thorough clean up of the house. Take the time clear up clutter magnets like attics, closets, drawers and basements. Focus, especially on the kitchen. Prospective buyers will likely walk through the kitchen, pulling out drawers and opening cabinet doors. It will help if you clear out counter tops, shelves and pantries as it will give buyers the notion of abundant storage space for their things.
It is necessary for potential buyers walking through a house to have an illusion of space. Put extra furniture into storage and clear out rarely used things from the closet. It gives buyers a better impression of the homes when the door handles, light switches, faucets and taps are shiny and new. Invest a little money in a good painting crew. A freshly painted house always impresses. Do not, however, spend too much on re-modelling or changing floor tiles and carpets. You are not renovating the house for yourself. Remember, you are trying to make an impression on buyers.

I thought I would share it with all of you.John and his wife, Liz, decided to sell their home. They bought the house in 2004, saw it increase in value, and this summer decided to sell it. They interviewed four different agents to sell their home and finally decided on the one who agreed to sell their home for what they wanted to sell it for. They believed the home was worth $625,000.  The first three agents who came in to interview for the listing told them the house would never sell at that price and that they should consider listing it below $600,000. They all felt $589,000-$599,000 was the "magic" number. John is a commercial real estate broker. He knew that his asking price was high but he was in no hurry to sell. He also didn't like the fact these three...
