Your Top Louisville Home Selling Tips!

First impressions count! Manicure the yard and enhance the landscaping. Remove the weeds, trim the bushes and cut the grass will improve curb appeal. Remember to clean the gutters, power-wash the sidewalk and driveway.
Clean the house. And make it shine! I recommend the white-glove treatment. Target the kitchen and the bathrooms first. Remember, a messy home can leave a bad impression on the buyer. It creates an impression that the home is uncared for and in disrepair (even if it isn’t).
Remove the clutter. Removing large pieces of furniture that shrink the room is important. It will make the room appear bigger. In addition, eliminate any family collectables and personal items. You want to create an environment where the prospective buyer can see their items in the room. You should create the opportunity to have the buyer mentally move in. Consider soliciting a professional home stagger to enhance the homes interior appeal.
Open the shades and let the sunshine in! Bright lighting will show the buyer the way. Double check to see all light fixtures have light bulbs and are in working condition. Good lighting will make the home look alive and bring a good feeling about the home.
Neutralize any odors. This is the #1 mistake Louisville home sellers should avoid. Pet odor, fried greasy foods and dirty pets are deal breakers. I recommend you do the following; open the windows to bring in fresh air, bake some cookies before a showing, place a bouquet of fresh cut flowers in the kitchen or dining room.
Neutral colors brighten rooms, and make them appear larger. The miracle of a fresh coat of paint will make a world of difference. While you may love that purple color in the hallway, it’s sure drive the buyer away before seeing the rest of your beautiful home.
Repair anything that is broken. Fill in the cracks or holes. Test out the windows for any stickiness or being painted shut. Nothing is more embarrassing than trying to open a stuck master bedroom window or the window refuses to stay open when you present the dramatic landscape outside the window. What did that light switch turn on? Check all electrical outlets and switches. Also, check for plumbing leaks and correct them. Insure the heating and cooling systems are in top working order.
