Tips For Selling Your Home!

Getting your house ready to sell means getting rid of the clutter.

The kitchen is a good place to start because it is an easy place to start.

First, get everything off the counters. EVERYTHING! Even the toaster. Put the toaster in a cabinet and take it out when you use it. Find a place where you can store everything in a cabinet or drawer. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. So, clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage.

You see, home buyers will open all your cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen. They want to be sure there is enough room for their "stuff". If your kitchen cabinets and drawers look jammed full it sends a negative message to the buyer and does not promote an image of plentiful storage space. The best way to do that is to have as much empty space as possible.

If you have a "junk drawer" get rid of the junk. If you have a rarely used crock pot put it in storage. Do this with every cabinet and drawer. Creat open space.

If you have a large amount of food stuffs stuffed into the shelves or pantry, begin using them-especially canned goods. Canned goods are heavy and you don't want to be lugging them to a new house anyway-or paying a mover to do so. Let what you have on the shelves determine your menus and use up as much as you can.

Beneath, the sink is very critical too. Make sure the area beneath the sink is empty as possible. Remove all extra cleaning supplies. You should scrub the area down as well and determine if there are any tell-tale signs of water leaks that may cause a home buyer to hesitate in buying your home.
