Outside Your Home
(the first impression and the window to peak interest)

• Cut and water the lawn every week during the marketing period. Plant flowers.

• Edge the lawn up the driveway and along the sidewalks (front and back) for a finished appearance.

• Trim all shrubbery and remove low lying tree limbs.

• Fertilize your lawn to make the grass look lush and green (but don’t over fertilize or you will burn the grass)

• Replace downed shutters, gutters, downspouts. Remove debris from gutters and downspouts.

• Paint any trim that is blistering.

• Repaint or re-stain the front door to create a pleasant first impression. If a screendoor is in place make sure it shiny clean with good screen and/or clean glass.

• Remove all clutter and put away bicycles, toys, mowers, lawn tools, etc.

• Have your home washed down (there are services that will do this)

Inside Your Home

• Pull back curtains and provide plenty of lighting.

• Paint rooms that look fingerprinted, worn or faded.

• Have the wall to wall carpeting and draperies cleaned.

• Fix any dripping faucets. Perhaps only a washer is needed.

• Replace old caulking around the bathtubs. This can be done with one tube of new caulking and a putty knife.

• Spray lubricant on all squeaking doors, windows, closets, & cabinets.

• Remove items from the floor of walk-in closets so that prospects can have easy access.

• Stack all items in the basement and garage against the walls to show maximum space.

• Vacuum the garage, basement, rafters, and all floors.

• If there are too many appliances on the kitchen counters, put them away to expose maximum counter space.

• Pre-pack items which may clutter your home. Extra toys in the children’s room and nick-nacs may actually make rooms appear smaller than they are.

• Clean your home from top to bottom. A professional cleaning service can do this for you.

• Keep the home smelling fresh but not overly scented.
