SELLING

	Selling Tips
		There's a lot you can do to help the sale of your home. Here are some of our top tips for home sellers"
		Curb appeal: Make sure the front of your house is neat and clean. A few dabs of paint and a freshly mowed lawn make important first impressions. Give visitors a welcoming walk to your front door.
		Minor fix-ups: Take time to repair leaky faucets, sticky drawers, squeaky doors, and loose knobs. Organize closets and cabinets to show-off their greatest potential. Maximize your home's value by paying attention to simple details.
		Let the sunshine in: Open the drapes and shades to let in natural light. Wash those windows for a sparkling view of the great outdoors. Show potential buyers a bright future in your home.
		Bathrooms & Kitchens: These are two rooms that can make or break a sale. Pay extra attention to caulking, back splashes, countertops, stove tops and cabinet fronts. Organizing your drawers and cabinets, empty trash bins, and give floors a quick mop. These inexpensive ways to showcase their value.
		Roomy rooms: Rooms that appear spacious are well organized, neat and clean. Good housekeeping and a fresh coat of paint can add value to your home.
		Safety first: Keep walkways, stairs, and hallways clear of toys, tools, and debris. In winter, keep sidewalks free of ice and snow.
		Tranquility: Keep noise and traffic to a minimum while potential buyers are touring your home. Let the salesperson conduct the tour and answer questions.
		Negotiations: Rely on the expertise of your real estate professional to discuss the price, terms and conditions with the buyer.
		Cooperation: Do your best to accommodate tours of your home whenever agents call. Keep your house ready to receive visitors on short notice and let the real estate salesperson make appointments as often as possible.
