[Real Estate Corner] Making my home stand out!

Q.  How do I make my home stand out in the market without spending much money? 

A.   If you want to get offers from buyers, make a great first impression by improving these potential turn-offs:

·      Messy Landscaping:  Buyers are looking for curb appeal.  Take the time to clean up an overgrown yard.

·      Nasty Odors:  You may not smell some odors in your home because you’ve become desensitized to them.  Ask your REALTOR^® if there are odors (smoke, pet odors) and how you can get rid of them.

·      Too Much Clutter:  Pack away any items like excess furniture, personal pictures and nick-knacks.  They make your rooms look smaller and distract the buyer from really seeing the house itself.

·      Old Paint:  A fresh coat of neutral-colored paint is a low-cost way to make your rooms look new and fresh.
