Each time someone buys or sells a property it is a life changing experience and some times may be a very difficult one. I feel as though it is my job to make each experience an enjoyable process whether its with a buyer or seller.

Sellers
  • List and market properties.
  • Get you the best price for your property.
  • I work hard to sell your property so you don't have to.

Preparing Your Home

Outside your home:
  • Cut the lawn - if you normally cut the lawn every two weeks, cut it every week during the marketing period.
  • Edge the lawn - up the driveway and along the sidewalks (both front and back) for a finished appearance.
  • Trim all shrubbery and remove low lying tree limbs.
  • Fertilize your lawn to make your grass lush and green.
  • Replace downed shutters, gutters, and downspouts. Remove debris from gutters and downspouts.
  • Paint any trim that is blistering.
  • Plant flowers in the front yard.
  • Repaint or restain front door to create a pleasant first impression.
  • Replace torn screens from windows and front and back doors.
Inside your home:
  • Paint only the rooms that really look fingerprinted, worn, or faded.
  • Have the wall to wall carpeting and draperies cleaned.
  • Fix any dripping faucets. Perhaps only a washer is needed.
  • Replace any old caulking around the bathtubs. This can be done with one tube of new caulking and a putty knife.
  • Spray lubricant on all squeaking doors, windows, closets, and cabinets.
  • Place a solid deodorizer in each room and closet.
  • Store out of season clothes so the closets do not have a cluttered look.
  • Remove items from the floors of walk-in closets so that prospects can have easy access.
  • Stack all items in the garage and basement against the walls to show maximum floor space.
  • Vacuum the garage and basement floor and rafters.
  • If there are too many appliances on the kitchen counter, put some of them away to expose maximum counter space.
  • Pre-pack items which clutter your home. Extra toys in your child's room and knick knacks may actually make your rooms appear smaller.
  • Clean your home from top to bottom. A professional cleaning service can do this for you:
    • Wash windows
    • Clean fans and ventilating hoods
    • Clean and polish floors
    • Remove stains from toilets, tubs, and sinks
