Murray, KY

Contact Melanie Koehler or Bonnie Byerly at 270-761-7355 or www.1cornerstonerealty.com for more information about how to help your home sell faster.

1. Before spending time or money, you should always check with Melanie Koehler, your exclusive agent at Cornerstone Realty and Rental, LLC.



2. You should always keep your landscaping and yard in tip-top shape. Buyers first impression is driving up to the home. This is known as curb appeal.



3. Keep pets under control at all times. This is for their safety as well as the buyers.



4. You should always stay out of a buyers way. Buyers usually will not feel comfortable talking about the property if the owner is home. Even going outside during a showing is helpful.



5. Store any unused furniture to make rooms look and feel larger.



6. You should remove any ornate item you are considering taking with you that a buyer might consider staying with the property. For example, a chandelier or wall system.



7. Make sure the price and terms appeal to most of the buying public in your price range.



8. Be aware of other homes in your neighborhood or similar ones that compare to your home.



9. Make sure your home looks fresh, comfortable, and new at all times.



10. Pack up anything now you are not going to need and store it away in an out-of-the-way place. This will help the home feel uncluttered.



11. Rely on a professional Real Estate agent to sell your home at a premium price while giving you the expertise, market knowledge, and genuine concern you deserve. Making the sale of your home worry and hassle free is what Cornerstone Realty is all about!
