Selling Tips From A Real Estate Pro – Get Maxium Value For Your Home
Before each showing of your home to potential buyers, it is important to make a good first impression. Be sure your front entry has a sparkling door knocker and door knobs, and that front door and porch are clean and free of clutter.
Once inside your home should smell inviting so bake the quick and easy break and bake cookies or brownies, or put a drop of vanilla on the top of a light bulb for a welcome aroma. You can make the home seem more inviting by installing higher wattage light bulbs and opening all the window treatments to let the light flood your home.
Buyers want to visualize themselves and their lifestyle in their new home, so to make your house more neutral, please distance yourself emotionally. This means putting away all family photos, awards, etc that are specific to your family. Also removing excess clutter by renting a storage unit or having a garage sale will make your home appear larger and more inviting.
You may want to host an open house while you still have furniture in your home, so buyers can visualize furniture placement with the layout and space available. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to disclose any past or potential issues that may effect the value and continued desirability of your advertised property. Real estate law varies from state to state, and some require you to reveal everything from a leak in the faucet to a neighbor who may be a nuisance. Be sure you are aware of the disclosure laws for your area.
As an additional incentive to attract an offer on your home, you might consider offering a one-year warranty to the new buyer. This often gives them the peace of mind to proceed with buying your home. When a potential buyer starts looking for a property, they look online first. A recent survey shows that 82% start with an internet search, due to the comfort and convenience. Only 12 % find the home of their dreams in a newspaper ad. It is important to let people know your home is for sale!

WHEN a hamster escaped from its cage and got lost under the floor of a car, it looked destined to be stuck there until it starved to death.
Nilesh Parmar, aged 36, and his wife Heena, 35, bought their six-year-old daughter Jayani and son Yuvraj, aged three, a dwarf hamster called Lily, in the hope it might make them more responsible around their Solihull home.
The excited children were keen to show their grandparents in Leicester their pet and placed her cage in their Volkswagen Golf, with the luggage. But there was outright panic as soon as dad put the keys in the ignition.
Mr Parmar, an insurance salesman said: “My daughter screamed and said the hamster had escaped and was scurrying around the car.”
Mr Parmar and his wife spent 15 minutes trying to catch the pesky hamster to no avail but then it went eerily silent. He used his torch to see if he could locate it and then heard a scratching sound coming from beneath the car floor.
He said: “I realised that the hamster had entered into a narrow air vent underneath the driver’s seat and due to the shape of the vent it was impossible for me to reach it or for the hamster to make its own way out.
