Bathrooms are so important to Americans that most homes have at least two or three. As you work toward selling your home, it is imperative that the bathrooms are kept clean and odor-free. I'd even suggest getting some fluffy, white towels to put out just for showings! 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 homebuyers want to see your home without them. Domestic animals are not unique features or selling points of homes; pet dander and odor aren’t going to provide a positive viewing experience. Some prospects might have allergies, while others may not like animals. For all buyers, they are an unnecessary distraction. Minimize the presence of pets. Dog & cat dishes, and beds need to be out of sight. Cat boxes MUST be clean and fresh if left in the house. Again, iff possible pets should be gone, or at least in a kennel when your property is being shown. With all the staging work complete, you are now ready to list and showcase your home. In the next section, you will learn how to price your home. A real estate professional is your best information source. When selling your home, there is much to know about pricing, marketing, and negotiations.
