Before I go into detail let me say one thing: looks matter! Some minor improvements, and spending a small amount of money can make a difference in the marketability of your house. This holds true whether you are FSBO, listing with an agent, or contacting a house buyer such as us.  Here are some tips to help you get it sold.
1. Lawns: spruce it up. Keep it mowed. Trim shrubs. Consider adding a little landscaping to add curb appeal. You don’t want to turn off your buyers before they even see the inside.
2. Clean the interior. Remove clutter. Toss the junk. Put away excess articles in closets.
3. Add a coat of fresh paint. Fresh modern colors on the inside will make the house more appealing. If it needs an exterior paint job in the worst way, do that immediately. As an alternative, pressure wash the exterior, walkways, and driveway.
4. Remove pet odors and other undesirable scents. Use plug-in air fresheners. Sprinkle carpet freshener. We have purchased houses with such atrocious smells that we had to leave the sliders open over two weeks to help get rid of nasty smells.
5. Clean carpets. Either rent a carpet cleaning machine or hire a professional carpet cleaner.
6. Have your trees trimmed.
7. Remove clutter from cabinet tops.
8. Price it right. Overpricing results in potential buyers walking away and not looking back.
9. Schedule open houses in single time slots. Let potential buyers come through in groups to possibly create a sense of urgency.
10. Your other alternative: contact us. We overlook needed paint jobs, clutter, junk, messy lawns, etc, and will make a cash offer as-is. Fill in the form our call us today 239-200-5600.
