Home Selling Tip no. 01

Every Room MUST Have a Purpose

-You know that little nook off of your kitchen that you use for extra storage? When trying to sell, make sure the room has a purpose for the new buyers. Maybe try setting up a small office or a two-seater breakfast table. 

-What about that tiny room that you use for a walk-in closet? Sure, the buyers may use it for a closet as well, but if its technically a bedroom, they need to see it as a bedroom to understand how it can work for them. 

Helping the buyers visualize their options will add to the appeal of your home. 

You want them to be able to see themselves inside every room.

Welcome Home Tip #1

Welcome Home Tip #1
:from the eyes of a NKY REALTOR

Today I showed a house to an investor. I've sold him a few houses, so the showings are typically quick and to the point. We look at the structure of the home, the plumbing, scour the walls with our eyes to check for signs of leaks; past or present. 

This house had a few appliances left in it. I'd say by the amount of cobwebs, it has been vacant for at least a few months. Neither electric nor water was turned on.

After seeing hundreds of houses - some vacant, some not - there comes to be an unwritten rule. A rule that must be followed. At all times.

When seeing a vacant you: DON'T OPEN THE FRIDGE

I can't begin to describe to you the stench that came out of that fridge. It was opened right as we were leaving the house and it stuck to our clothes like flies on honey. As we went outside, I don't think I could have held my breath long enough for it to go away.
