How to Get the Edge when Selling this Spring
Michele Dawson, Realty Times Columnist
You'll want your house to sparkle and stand up to the buyer's home inspection. Some ways to do that include:
· Make any necessary structural repairs. You may want to consider hiring a professional inspector to give the house a once-over before you put it on the market. That way, there shouldn't be any surprises down the road once a potential buyer makes and offer and conducts their own inspection. A home inspection should cover drainage conditions, your home's exterior, the chimney, decks, the roof, windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, furnace, air conditioner, insulation, ventilation, electrical, heating, and plumbing systems.
· Check out your shingles, make sure there aren't any loose ones.
· Repair and paint your gutters.
· Shampoo your carpets.
· Repaint any dingy-looking walls. Keep colors neutral to attract a broad base of would-be buyers.
· Clear out the clutter. Let buyers see the kitchen countertops. Have closets just half full so they look larger, clean out the garage, get rid of the knickknacks. And if you have a lot of furniture, put some of it in storage. Less furniture will make the room appear larger.
· Make a great first impression. A potential buyer's first impression is what is know as curb appeal. Keep the lawn mowed, trim the bushes and shrubs, clean the front windows, place a nice welcome mat out, make sure there's no clutter by the front door, clean out the spider webs, leaves and other debris near the front door and, speaking of front doors, make yours look great -- whether it's by painting it, cleaning it, hanging a seasonal wreath or adding a stylish new handle.
If you're selling in a hot sellers' market, then you'll still want to follow the above suggestions, but you'll have more leeway in your negotiations. But experts say it's important to not get greedy and to set a fair price. With mortgage rates still near all-time lows, buyers can get more for their dollar than ever. Homes priced to accurately reflect today's market values and that are in good condition sell very quickly. Today's buyers are looking for homes that are well maintained and ready to move into.
A lot of people are taking price reductions. The ones that do cut their prices are often finding that buyers will step up to the plate.

STAGING your HOME!
When you know someone is coming by to tour your home, turn on all the indoor and outdoor lights – even during the day. At night, a lit house gives a "homey" impression when viewed from the street. During the daytime, turning on the lights prevents harsh shadows from sunlight and it brightens up any dim areas. Your house looks more homey and cheerful with the lights on.
Do not use scented sprays to prepare for visitors. It is too obvious and many people find the smells of those sprays offensive, not to mention that some may be allergic. If you want to have a pleasant aroma in your house, have a potpourri pot or something natural.
If you have pets, make sure your listing agent puts a notice with your listing in the multiple listing service. If you know someone is coming, it would be best to try to take the pets with you while the homebuyers tour your home. If you cannot do that, It is best to keep dogs in a penned area in the back yard. Try to keep indoor cats in a specific room when you expect visitors, and put a sign on the door. Most of the time, an indoor cat will hide when buyers come to view your property.
Especially if your kitchen trash does not have a lid, make sure you empty it every time someone comes to look at your home – even if your trash can is kept under the kitchen sink. Remember that you want to send a positive image about every aspect of your home. Kitchen trash does not send a positive message. You may go through more plastic bags than usual, but it will be worth it.
