A
spacious look
One of the best and least expensive ways to improve
the how-ability of a home is to open up as much space
as possible. Overstuffed rooms, closets and storage
give the impression of being smaller spaces than they
really are. Remove extraneous furniture and pack up
out-of-season clothes. Get rid of things you no longer
use. Consider a mini-storage for the furniture and boxes
beginning to collect in corners.
Kitchen
Extra time is well spent here. Remove infrequently used
appliances and do some prudent discarding in cabinets.
Clean the stove inside and out. Replace corroded or
stained reflector pans under burners. Don't forget about
cleaning under the exhaust hood. A gleaming kitchen
goes a long way to show buyers your general housekeeping.
This is a part of the home where people do a lot of
looking.
Bathrooms
Few places in the home get dirty so quickly, yet few
will 'unsell' a house as fast as a dirty bath. All the
fixtures are focal points. However, don't forget simple
tricks like fresh soap in the dish, replacing a tired
shower curtain and cleaning the caulking and grout in
the shower. Put out fresh towels prior to showings and
make sure bath mats are clean and in good repair.
Valuables
You may have wonderful collections that you like to
display in your home but when your home is being shown
to strangers, it is not the time to have them out. Don't
have small valuable items lying around on counters or
dressers. Get them out of sight, if not out of the house.
Don't invite problems.
