Sell your home for top dollar & without the stress

  Initial appearance is everything. When selling or buying I firmly believe the outside presence of a house says a lot about the inside. If applicable, a nice crisp edge will sharpen up the lawn. Keep the bushes and shrubs at bay. Store the garbage cans away from the street. Place all outside dog toys, kid toys, and pool toys in a shed if one is accessible. And pick up the poop!

  You want to make the most out of space, so declutter!  Keep what small counter appliances and accessories you have put up. By doing so, this will make the appearance of the kitchen and bathroom(s) larger. Also, make the bed(s). Open the blinds and/or curtains. This will brighten up the living space. Natural light is always best!

 Any real estate agent cannot stress this enough. A home inspection benefits both the buyer and the seller. It will help to identify defects, major or minor, (faulty wiring, mold, roof etc.) This helps to make an informed buying decision or adjust the sales price accordingly. This will also allow the seller to remedy the now known defects prior to closing.

  Often, it is appealing to the buyer to see a warranty is being offered, even if it is for just a year. This could again benefit both the buyer and seller. It provides assurance and a financial buffer in case of a sudden malfunction of an appliance, electrical system, and in some cases, even plumbing.
