Curb appeal, how a buyer views your home from the street, is also important in selling. We always discuss cost of doing repairs verses advantages in selling. Sometimes just a coat of white paint on the walls and having the carpets professionally cleaned, adds so much. Simply trimming the bushes, weeding the gardens and keeping the lawn mowed helps. Every home is different, please consult with us before spending money.
Septic repairs are expensive and take time to remedy.
If you decide to sell, try to be flexible on when a Realtor can show your house. Try to leave the home with beds made, dishes done and the home vacuumed. Sometimes our lives are so busy, do not drive yourself crazy. Each of us has our own style of living. Try to be comfortable yet understand the need to present the home as neat as possible.
