Here are some tips for preparing to sell your Atlanta home:

Fix Up Your Home.

A well-manicured home with neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch is mandatory.  If it’s autumn, rake the leaves. If it’s winter, shovel the walkways.  Make your home for sale as appealing as possible.  Clean the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. Refinish the woodwork.  Put up a fresh set of wallpaper.  Hire professional cleaners or painters.

Fix all the little things.

Like garbage disposals, discolored sinks, faucets, hinges on cabinets, and light bulbs.  A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a closing.

Safety Matters.

Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, festooned extension cords, slippery throw rugs and low hanging overhead lights. Make your residence accident free.

Make Room for Space.

Clean out the garage and attic.  Organize your closet.  Have a yard sale.  Take old items to charity.

Invest in Kitchens and Bathrooms.

Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. For added allure, display your best towels, mats, and shower curtains.

Use Lights at Night.

If you’re showing the home at night, make sure the home is well lit and bright.  Turn on your lights – both inside and outside.  Lights add color and warmth, and make prospects feel welcome.

Keep the Setting Serene.

Avoid having friends or family over when showing the home.  Keep your pets and children out of the way and not distracting.  Turn off the stereo and television.  And don’t force conversation.  Keep a low profile.  When prospects come to view your home, don’t distract them with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer need. You may lose the biggest sale of all.
