By: Lidia S. Gabinelli, Sales Associate Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New Jersey Properties If you’re thinking of downsizing or sell- ing real estate, contact your trusted real estate professional for a preview on how to prepare. We will market your home, netting you the highest sale price in the least amount of time, at no inconvenience to you. We will compile a checklist, along with tips, contacts, and contractors in order to tidy up, clean up, patch up and add the fin- ishing touch. Tidy Up! When selling your home, it is critical to look at it from the prospective of the buyer. Be sure to de-clutter your home, allowing buyers to see a maximized amount of space and potential. When selling a home, less is more! Clean up! A clean home gives the impression that it was well cared for. Aim to make your home not only visually but also aromatically appealing. Remember: paint in the can is worth $20, but it’s worth $1,000 on the wall! Patch Up! Take care of your minor home repairs, as they can be seen as even bigger issues from the buyer’s perspective. Save yourself the money and trouble later, and patch your home up before placing it on the market. The Finishing Touch! It’s the little extras that set the home apart from the others and make it stand out. Buy some fresh flowers and set the scene for the buyers in order for them to envision themselves in the home. The decision to move can be a difficult one to make. Do you want to continue spending money to keep your home, or are you ready to simplify? Contact me to dis- cuss the pros and cons of downsizing.
