imperative that the bathrooms be kept clean and odor-free.
Potential buyers might forgive a less-than-stellar child’s room, but a questionable bathroom or kitchen could cost you a sale.
PET PEEVES
Pets are wonderful, but not everyone likes them. In fact, some people are highly allergic to domestic pets. Home buyers don’t want to dodge your excited, barking dog or deal with the fur and dander of your friendly cat — much less have to deal with unfriendly animals. Pet dander and odors will tank a positive viewing experience for potential buyers who, at best, consider pets an unnecessary distraction, and, at worst, begin to imagine all sorts of hidden pet stains and damage. Do your best to minimize the presence of your pets. Dog dishes, cat litter boxes, and beds need to be out of sight or clean at all times. At the very least, pets should be relegated to crates or the backyard while showing your home, but it is best to move them to another location entirely, if at all possible. With all the staging work complete, you are ready to list and showcase your home. In the next section, you will learn how to price your home. We are your best information source for how to sell your home quickly without lowering the price. What makes a real estate agent great is not how many listings we have, or how many homes we sell. It’s not how many awards we receive, or how many showings we do on a weekly basis. What makes us great is our rare ability to be there for you, sympathize as a real friend, and make sure you handle as little of the transaction as possible, therefore reducing your stress. We make a conscious decision to help you carry the load, and make the sale as smooth as possible.
