Julie sold another!
Create a neutral environment by boxing up personal items such as knick-knacks, family mementos, and books.
Make the rooms seem more spacious by removing excess furniture.
Thoroughly clean carpets, windows, closets, and ovens.
Assess needed household repairs and make them.
Clear debris from sidewalks, decks, and driveways.
Get a qualified HVAC specialist to certify that the furnace and air conditioner is in good condition.
Replace dated kitchen and bathroom hardware and fixtures.
Remove heavy curtains that block light.
Repaint rooms that look dull using a neutral color such as cream or tan.
Refinish worn hardwood floors.
Paint the front door and buy a new welcome mat.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says that since so many details, especially financial ones, are involved in buying and selling a home, using a real estate agent is a good idea because that professional can be a guide throughout the process, making the entire process and experience so much easier.
The key to a successful and positive experience with a real estate transaction is finding the right professional to assist you. While a real estate agent can meet your needs, the services of a Realtor® will suite your needs even better.
In {Location_Name}, what’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor?
Of the more than two million people who have earned real estate licenses, only a small percentage of them are Realtors. Realtors, who are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, their state association of Realtors, and a local real estate board, are held to high standards of ethical behavior and undergo continuing education annually to remain accredited.
All agents of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!
