Seller Tips

Choosing your real estate professional is, perhaps, the most important decision you will make when selling property. Nick and Joan know Montrose and the surrounding area and have all the tools to help you market your property.

The first impression is so important, think about how you respond to a home when you first see the property. We always notice how orderly and well kept a property is. Here are a few tips on how to present your home to possible buyers.

The first thing they will see is the yard. Have the grass mowed and all clutter put away. Keep entrys clean and clear of obstacles. Have garages in order and things in their proper places.

How about a spring cleaning. Make sure faucets do not leak and the sinks are shining. Make sure cabinets work properly as well as drawers and have the cuboards contents in order. Small things can make a potential buyer walk away. When you prepare your house for showing, remember to shampoo carpets, clean tubs, toilets and showers and hang fresh towels, fix squeaky doors, broken hinges and light switches. Pick up in the bedrooms and help your children organize their toys etc. The house should look lived in but not as if a tornadeo swept through.

Let your Realtor have some input. As you get ready to show your home, your realtor will have helpful, professional ideas on how to make your home more attractive and marketable. It can be hard to be objective when it's your home, don't rely solely on your own judgement listen to input from others, some good ideas are possible.

Eliminate unpleasant odors. Nothing will turn a buyer away faster than an odd smell. Work to to eliminate pet, smoking, and food odors.

Turn on the lights. Open shades and draperies before a viewing. Open all doors inside home. Turn on inside and outside lights.

Let potential buyers "see" themselves in your home. Too many personal items can make viewers feel like they're intruding in someone else's home. Keep things clean and simple. Decorate in neutral colors.When buyers view your home, they'll be more comfortable and spend more time if you're not there. If you must be present try to stay out of the picture. Let your agent do the work.

Stay focused during negotiations. Selling your home is a big step in the sellers lives, let your Realtor walk you through all the steps. They are trained professionals.
