The most common critique I hear from buyers are about the kitchen. Like bathrooms the are usually not updated. So, what should you do if it is not in the budget to remodel? Keep in neutral and clean. You will want to make sure that your counters are de-clutter and always clean. I understand that you will still need to cook and eat but you want to make sure that when you do have a prospective buyer coming to see the home that you have no dishes in the sink or on the counter. Leave the dishes in the dishwasher if need be. You can even have the dishwasher running . Also, you want to remove and tuck away your appliances. You can leave one nice and clean appliances but do not leave out your toaster, blender, coffee maker etc. You might ant to consider buying a nice wicker basket and having some colorful place mats rolled up and in them.
The most important tip I can give. Please do not cook anything prior to a showing. Although you may think your meal smells wonderful others may be offended by it. You may want to consider a no cooking rule at least 1 hour before a showing and perhaps burn a nice clean and simple fragrance candle.

Your bathroom... It is usually the last room to get updated and upgraded ant the hardest to keep clean.
When you have your home on the market you need to have the entire home, more importantly, your bathroom in showroom/ model home condition.
Keep our toothpaste, toothbrush and products off the vanity. Tuck them away in a drawer. Those being said, keep the draw clean and tidy. Buyers will look in the drawers to get an idea of the storage they will have when they become the homeowners.
In terms of decor, you want to keep the bathroom colors neutral. Tan tile or a good quality vinyl floor and neutral wall colors. Stick with the tans and taupe. Then add an accent colors. Perhaps a bright towel a matching vase on your vanity.
What happens when your bathroom is smurf blue or pastel pink? Well, if you can remodel the bathroom however if that is not in the budget work with what you have. Use the pink and blue as accent colors and neutralize the walls. Use white or off-white for towel and accent pieces.

There are three factord that impeact the sale - ability of a home. Location, condition and price. We can control two. Condition _ you always wany your home to be in showcase consitiond. It will be uncomfortable but homes sell when they are perfect and look like a Jordan's show room. There will be another video on this topic soon. Today let us focus on pricing and getting you the most money possible. When you speak to your rRealtor make sure that they have a strong sense of what the market is doing in your town or city. The Realtor should then be able to explain to you and analyze the numbers. Ultimately, they should be able to tell you where the Gaps in the market are and how you can price your home to create 7-10 showings in 7-10 days and multiple offers in 30. If you would like more information on this top, have questions, concerns or are thinking of selling please call or email me. I would be happy to help.

Wichelet & Bettyna Fevrier - Buyer & Seller Taunton, MA
Cidalia was knowledgeable and very straightforward throughout the process of selling our home. It turned out to be a rather difficult process due to the need for flood insurance, but turned out well in the end. She made all aspects of the selling project easy for us.
