Tip #1: Sellers should see with "Buyers" eyes

Your Greenwich home may look good from your point of view, but a buyer's perspective can be completely different. So step back and take a fresh look at your home. Here is a quick guide to getting the most objective look at your property.

Take drive around the block, and try to visualize your home and your neighborhood as if seeing it for the first time.Consider your home's curb appeal; does it need a new coat of paint? Is the driveway stained? Could it use a bit of landscaping?

Pull into the driveway and take look at your property.

Take a fresh new look inside.

Make a list of any potential red flags.

These are issues that buyers would see. Make another list of the areas that are attractive about the house. Detach from your personal feelings and be as critical as a buyer would be.
Take a "Walk Through" and Imagine how a real estate agent would describe each room. Look inside every cabinet, open doors, try the bathroom fixtures, turn on light switches. Is everything in good working order? Are there any visible signs of deterioration?
Do the flower beds need weeding?

Keep in mind that your Greenwich home has been a great place for you to live. However your Greenwich home will be compared against other existing homes as well as an array of new homes in and around Greenwich, currently on the market. If your home is in good condition, you'll be in the running to sell
