Newspaper advertising is aimed at attracting buyers and sellers to the company or the Realtor . Every property can have it's marketability improved by changing it's appearance. Have your Real Estate Professional give you a set of ideas on how to make your property more marketable. Put aside what you think is nice or adequate, look upon the house as their new home, not yours, and listen to your professional advisor. Paint, clip, cut, clean, deodorize, send to storage, toss our, caulk, mow, paper, cement, repair, add, scoop, weed, tear our and scrub.
Little things do count.
A minimum of time, effort and money spent now can bring in large rewards. Leave the house when it's being shown and take the dog and kids with you. If you must be home don't chat with the buyers, just disappear. Tune the radio to quiet soothing music. Be careful of cooking odors.
