Selling Considerations #5: Other Issues
There are many places on your property that may need a little extra attention and TLC in preparation for listing, showing and selling. Every situation is different, but keep in mind that sometimes the tiniest detail can "make or break" the likelihood of getting an offer.
Consider objectively evaluating (and possibly correcting or improving) the condition, appearance, impact, functionality and appeal of the following:
- Plumbing Fixtures - toilets, faucets, sinks, showers, tubs, sprinklers, etc.
- Electrical - fixtures, chandeliers, switches, outlets, bulbs, fans, etc.
- Environmental - heating, cooling, ventilation, air & water conditioning, etc.
- Appliances - Refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, washer/dryer, compactor, microwave, range/oven, etc.
- Surfaces - ceilings, walls, art niches, steps/stairways, etc.
- Floors - carpets, tiles, wood, inlays, etc.
- Openings - windows, doors, skylights, etc.
- Interior - odors, confined/cluttered areas, dark areas, etc.
- Exterior - siding, roofing, landscaping, sheds, pets, foliage, trimming, etc.
- Street - curb appeal, front door/entry, driveways, sidewalks, etc.
Don't leave anything to chance. If it is something you would notice when looking for your new home, now is the time to acknowledge and deal with it.
