Tips For Sellers – To Get Buyers to Say, “Ta-Dah!”
“Ta-Dah! We’ve Found It!”
That is the phrase you want the prospective buyers to say when they view your home. Oh yea, and then you want them to make a great offer – preferably full price. Right?
Well, I’m going to give you some tips that will help make that a reality for you.
Ta-Dah Tip #1
It’s the little things that make a difference.
a) Change the light bulbs – this brightens up everything!
b) Take up rugs in kitchens and baths
c) Polish the door knobs
d) wash the windows
e) Remove everything, did I say, everything??? Yes, EVERYTHING from the refrigerator – oh, except for my business card, you can have that on there. 
No magnetic pictures, alphabet letters, grocery lists, etc. NOTHING on the front, sides or top of the refrigerator!
f) Remove all the grass in the joints of sidewalks and driveway
g) Toilet lids DOWN
h) All brand items with price labels need to be completely removed! This includes, soap dispensers, shampoo bottles, body wash, etc. Nothing in the shower or on the sides of the tub, unless a tasteful item that gives a sense of luxury to the space.
i) Pillows! They add a pop of color.
j) Nice bedding on the beds – keep beds made
k) If you have a pet – don’t let anyone know it. If you have a listing that says, “Dog will bark, but is friendly,” that will drive buyers away, even if they love dogs. No one wants to walk through a house with dogs barking in another room.
l) Pack up all of your closets. You’re going to move anyway, you may as well pack now.
