| Make A Good First
Impression |
- First impressions can be lasting impressions.
- Trim and edge your lawn.
- Add some flowers and bark chips along the front walkways.
- How does the paint and condition of the front door look?
- Clean driveway grease spots and check if the garage door needs
paint.
- Take a look at your home from the road and then walk through
the front door.
- What else will show your home to its greatest advantage?

| Light Helps Your Home
Look Larger And Cheerier |
- Keep the shades open to let more light in.
- In dark hallways, entry ways and rooms, leave the lights on,
even in the daytime.
- Dark paneling, paint or wallpaper may need to be replaced or
painted.
- Clean windows and sliding glass doors.

|
| Show Off All The
Space That Your Home Has |
- Pack up those closets and get ready to move. Let the buyers
see how much closet space they will be buying.
- Now is the time to clean the garage. How about a garage sale?
- Too much furniture will make your rooms look small. Move some
furniture to the garage if you have to.
- The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the buyer's
buying decision. Is it clean? Can you pack some things away to better demonstrate the
counter and cabinet space?

- Multiple Listing Service computer searches are often conducted
by price range. An agent may have a buyer who will pay up to $150,000. If your home is
listed at $153,000, your home may not be included in the search results.
- Overpricing discourages many potential buyers who will look
elsewhere, thinking your home is beyond their means. Buyers shop by comparison, and often
pass up highly priced homes to bid on more reasonably priced ones.
- Appraisals are required on all new loans. Buyers realize that,
to get a loan to purchase your home, a lender will have to agree to the value.
- Overpricing invariably lengthens time on the market. Buyers
tend to view such properties as "shopworn", or "wanting" in some way,
and will buy only at a greatly discounted price.
- Overpricing tends to dampen the other salesperson's enthusiasm
for your property, making it less likely that it will be shown.
- Overpricing invariably results in a lower selling price than
could otherwise have been obtained.
