• loose stairs on a stairway or missing banisters • low-hanging dining room light fixtures • closet doors that fall off or aren’t adjusted properly • hearing animals in the walls of a vacant home • Halloween decorations left out after Halloween • dangerous children’s toys left out • dead cars in the driveway or yard • political signs • graffiti on a home for sale • dead birds or animals in or around the home Getting a house ready to sell should cover every area of the house; however, there are some specific places you need to ensure are in their most excellent state, i.e., the entrance to your house, the kitchen, the bathroom(s) and all toilets. Most buyers put more emphasis on these areas. If you can afford to make changes and small improvements in your home, you’ll be rewarded greatly for your efforts. Your real estate agent can give you recommendations in hiring a professional home stager, which I recommend.
