Nine Helpful Tips When Selling Your Lexington KY Home

Helpful Tips when Selling Your Lexington KY Home:

1. Make a good First impression by maintaining the grounds whether in summer or winter. Mow the lawn, rake, trim shrubs and make sure all debris is removed from the driveways and sidewalks.
2. Open the shades and drapes to give maximum amount of light. Replace all burned out light bulbs. Light goes a long way to add cheerfulness to rooms.
3. Fix cracked plaster, crooked light fixtures and loose doorknobs. Sometimes it is the small things that can hinder a sell more than large repairs.
4. Correct any plumbing issues. Leaky faucets will discolor porcelain and can draw attention to plumbing defects.
5. Fresh painting, shampooing of rugs and carpets are huge.
6.  Keep your pet out of the way during a showing.  Make sure your home does not smell of a pet.  You may not notice the smell of your pet, so ask a friend.
7. Keep TV’s and radios turned off or turned down during showings. You do not want to distract prospects.
8. Keep your home warm in the winter and moderately cool in hot weather.
9. Never ever make any apologies for any adverse appearance of your home. This only emphasis the defects.
