Tips for Selling Your Home

Have a home to sell before you can buy a new one?  Here are some tips on how to make that home as appealing to potential buyers as possible!

• De-clutter:  Less is more when it comes to helping potential buyers visualize themselves in your home.   Remove any unnecessary items that can distract from the basic shape and feel of the home.
• Curb Appeal: This is your first impression! Make sure the yard is neat and tidy. Place some potted plants or flowers on the porch. Repaint the front door and touch up the stairs. You want your home's entrance to make a positive statement.
• Lock up the pets: When potential buyers come by make sure any and all pets are out of sight and out of the way for their walk through.
• Consider the senses: Potential buyers will be noticing more about your home than what they see in front of them. Make sure the home smells nice - not strong and flowery but warm and inviting.
• Clean: Walk through your home with a critical eye. See what stands out to you that may not normally get cleaned. Think about your bathroom mirrors, side lights, windows, tile floors, ceiling fans, etc.

The housing market is starting to rebound and you don't want anything to stop you from moving on to the Lowcountry Builders home of your dreams!
