Tips for getting a house ready FOR SALE

Money and time...the two things that are important in putting together your house to go up for sale.It just shows the time and effort you invested in this venture, and what is does in return, is help the potential buyer imagine themselves living in your home. You certainly do not want them to walk away thinking how nice the house would have looked if things were in good order.
 It is my rule of thumb however, that you do not spend too much on the house prior to sale, that may not be recouped during the sale of the home. Making repairs are essential and keeps the value of your home in the higher price range within the comparable market analysis. Try to focus on the inexpensive repairs to make your home attractive to buyers. Usually with home sales appliances are left behind, but purchasing new ones to give has great bearing to the potential buyer, who may have to purchase everything, or hope theirs will work properly at a new location.
 The landscaping has been a great way to sell the home faster when it is treated and trimmed for the eyes to see. It has great bearing also to a potential buyer, who can see the time and effort necessary for them to enjoy the same outcome when they take over the property. Also, be careful not to show the outside flaws of the house wear and tear, by not sealing in the cracks of the property, repairing the porch steps and/or railings, and last, but certainly not least,  ignoring to have a fresh coat of paint to the house will almost always deter the buyer from getting the sold sign placed on your house because of the extra cost he would have to inherit.
  The inside of the home should be immaculately clean.....at all times. Remove the clutter and even get rid of some possessions that have been lingering for some time . Your home will look larger and the potential buyer can see what he can keep and replace too because of this effort!
 While this can be a chore, it will be better to have it done before the sale instead of after, according to recent sellers.
Finally, people still love to see new things in homes....nice bathroom towels, flowers, centerpieces, and other decorative items to make your home more inviting to them....a good reason they would not want to leave without placing an offer on your property!
Do these tips which properly and up to three months to complete, to be ready for the market to see and be SOLD....!
