Pictures - posting well lit, clear, recent photos of your home in your home listing is a huge factor in getting buyers to even want to walk into your home. If the pictures do not do the home justice, why would anyone want to waste the time to see it? Don't make your home one of the first to be deleted from the eligible list by not having it represented properly to begin with. Insist this important step if first and foremost followed through.
Odors - before you even put your home up for sale, make sure your home is free of odors. Cigarette odor is on the top of the list of offensive smells in a home. Along that line is also a pet smell. Do what is necessary to avoid a buyer to walk in and about face and walk out. Have your realtor or a friend come in your home and give you their opinion as to if your home is odor free.
Pets - nobody is going to be as enamored by your pet as you are. Make sure to have your pet removed from the home when it is being shown. If you can, also remover litter boxes and food bowls as these also produce smells. Vacuum well to avoid evidence of pet hair throughout the home.
Dirty Bathrooms - the shower curtain will not hide a dirty tub. The buyer is going to be looking behind it! Make sure to clean every surface spick and span! Remove items off the countertops to show all the space they offer. Pick up dirty towels and make the room inviting with show towels and clean floors, too.
Cuttered Home - nothing sells a home better than showing all the space it has to offer. With your personal items removed (yes, even the pictures on the mantle or walls), the buyer is able to imagine their pictures throughout the home. Empty closets half to half full to give a feeling of more space. Store away crowded furniture pieces to show more space in the rooms. Take into consideration that the proper furniture is in each room to show the function of the room. (An extra bedroom filled with storage items is going to say "these things don't have a place of their own".)
While you may feel your home is perfect just the way it is, remember, not everyone lives the same lifestlyes. Let the buyer feel the home will fit their needs and purposes. By showing true quality pictures of your home and by taking care of odors, pet evidence, dirty bathrooms and clutter, you are providing a positive sign your home was well kempt; chore free for a new homeowner.
