PREPARINGYour Home FOR SALE

When your home is for sale,it’s often more than just thepurchase price and locationthat will make or break a deal.Making your home look itsvery best and presenting it asa desirable place to live arealso very important.

Work With Your Realtor

Your REALTOR can give youan objective opinion of whatyou need to do. REALTORShave the experience andknowledge that can helpidentify problem areas orsuggest improvements. In mostcases, REALTORS will notsuggest major renovations. Afew minor repairs here andthere and a thorough cleaningare usually all that arerequired.

Cleaning Up The Homestead

Virtually all buyers are on thelookout for one thing — aclean home. Many will simplywalk away if a home looksuncared for and, at the veryleast, an untidy home willfetch a lower selling price.Ensure your home is spotlessand free of clutter. The twomost important rooms in abuyer’s mind are the kitchenand the bathroom. Payparticular at-tention to theseareas — they should sparkleand shine.

Making RepairsThere are certain items thatmust be repaired if there areproblems. A leaky roof, forexample, must be fixed. Anyelectrical problems will haveto be addressed. Furnaces,water heaters and plumbingalso fall into this category.

Other areas may not needmajor repairs but will needattention. These can includeleaky faucets, holes in windowscreens and any brokenglass, etc. If some of yourwalls are too dirty to comeclean, you may wish toconsider a paint job. Carpetsand rugs should also be cleanand in good repair.

Outside & InTake a close look at the stateof your yard. If you areshowing your home in thesummer, trees and shrubsshould be pruned and yourlawn kept neat. In the fall, rakeleaves regularly and in thewinter ensure the walks anddriveway are kept clear of anysnow or ice.

To Renovate Or Not To Renovate

Usually, most renovations donot translate into an increasein selling price of more thanthe cost of the renovationsthemselves. Painting, wall-pa-pering and modest landscapeimprovements usually recovertheir costs, but major projectssuch as new patios, decks oradditions rarely do.

Moving Up Or DownIf you are selling your homebecause you need morespace with a growing family,or if you plan on downsizingnow that the kids have lefthome or you want less work,your REALTOR can help. Withaccess to the Multiple ListingService® (MLS®) yourREALTOR can provide youwith list of homes for sale thatmeet your needs and yourbudget. If you have access tothe Internet you can view all ofthe properties listed for saleon the Board’s MLS® systemby logging on to www.mls.ca.
