ARE YOU READY TO SELL YOUR HOME? YOU’RE NOT DONE YET           

So you’ve tackled all the items we’ve listed in previous posts

• ARE YOU READY TO SELL YOUR HOME? Absolute Basics for Indoors

and you think you’re done?  We’ve listed a few things below that you might not have thought of. 

Keep outdoor toys in check. Collect and store toys that are on the front lawn, driveway and sidewalk. 

Take this opportunity to talk to children and teenagers about the importance of keeping the house looking good while it’s on the market. 

Give them a concrete incentive to participate (but don’t deliver on the bargain until the home is sold).

 Pay attention to storage areas too. Make sure your storage areas are clean too. 

Attics, garages and basements need to be organized, clean, and have good lighting.

Check out the pull-down staircase to the attic, tightening it if need be. 

Put a light bulb in the attic.

Don’t forget the extra touches. 

• Remove ashes from the fireplace. 
• Turn the television off while the home is being shown. 
• Keep pools sparkling clean and free of leaves all year long.
