Pay attention ©
to detaiis when
selling home

PAYING ATTENTION to
details can reap big divi-
dends when selling your
home. .

Spring is the traditional
clean-up time for homeown-
ers and if you are planning
on selling your home, the
following tips may help ac-
celerate the sale.

* Do make the front and
rear entrances clear and in-
- viting.

© Do pay careful attention
to the landscaping, the car
port or garage.

© Don't ‘make major in-

“vestments, such as interior
painting or redecorating.
The new homeowners will
want to do this themselves.

*Do hold a garage or
yard sale to dispense with
those items you'll not be
taking with you. This will
help eliminate ‘a cluttered
look and help you tidy
things up both inside and
outside.

* Do make minor repairs,
such as fixing leaky faucets,
cracked windows, or loose
boards: on the _ backyard
fence.

° Do make sure the win-
dows are clean and sparkl-
ing. Same-- (Bocs- for’ the.
countertops in kitchen and
bathroom.

_) Don’ t. allow pets to run

oot

free when potential buyers
come calling; not everyone is
a pet lover and you won't

want to offend a potential -

purchaser.

© Do tidy the closets and
storage” areas; an orderly
appearance will make them

appear more spacious, and °

this is usually a major con-
sideration by buyers.

* Do keep clear access to
the furnace, hot water supp-
ly, and fuse-boxes:” Litera-
ture describing the furnace
and its maintenance schedule

_ Should be available.

© Do ensure that tools and
gardening apparatus are
carefully put away or stack-
ed neatly in a corner.

® Don’t make major land-
Scape investments; the new

owners will. be impressed by ,

well-kept lawns and shrubs,
etc., and may have ideas of
their own for future land-
scaping.

©Do vacuum and dust
throughout the home.

© Do make certain kitchen
cupboards are uncluttered
and organized because your

visitors will. probably look
~inside them. y

© Do arrange to be away ©

‘from home when your real-

tor is showing your home
and allow them complete

freedom to do the work they -

are trained to do.
