Things to think about before listing your home.

Not sure how to get your house ready to sell? Here are steps you can take before listing your home to increase your chances of receiving a solid offer from a buyer. From cleaning and staging to repainting and depersonalizing, simple things to do before you sell your home.

GIVE YOUR HOUSE A DEEP CLEAN

To ensure that your place is in pristine condition. First impressions mean a lot. So don’t let foul smells, dirty floors or dusty surfaces make a bad one on a potential buyer. Give your home a deep clean. This means cleaning toilets, wiping down surfaces, mopping floors, cleaning rugs and scrubbing bathrooms.

DECLUTTER THE HOME

Decluttering and organizing your space will go a long way in appealing to potential buyers. When a home is clutter-free, buyers are able to focus on the actual home instead of on the junk, knick knacks and overflowing closets.

PAINT THE WALLS

RENT A STORAGE UNIT

Maybe it is time to re-paint your home. Adding a fresh coat of paint to your home will also help cover the wall’s imperfections and convey a blank slate to potential buyers. Start by painting over those bright orange and green walls with neutral colors. Stick to whites, light grays, light beiges, and “greige” wall colors. These shades will make your home appear bigger, brighter and more welcoming.

Selling a home successfully will involve some decluttering and purging of belongings. For this reason, go ahead and rent a temporary storage unit before selling. Having a self-storage unit nearby will give you somewhere to temporarily place all of your extra stuff when staging and showing the home.

STAGE YOUR HOME

When selling a home, you want to strike the perfect balance between depersonalization and creating a warm, welcoming home. This means putting away the majority of framed photos, bulletin boards and personal items throughout the home. Leave a few nice, framed photos around the house to make the home appear inviting and lived in.

Staging a home really can help it sell faster and for more money.

Fortunately, staging your home’s interior is easy and affordable. There are simple ways to stage a home on a budget before listing it for sale. Don’t forget to also spruce up your home’s curb appeal when staging the home.

So make sure that the grass is cut, the yard is landscaped and the knick knacks are gone If your home is looking a bit rundown, you should also consider adding a fresh coat of paint to the exterior walls.

CHECK INTO YOUR LIGHTING

Go ahead and stock up on light bulbs. When showing a house to potential buyers, all light fixtures and lamps will need to be turned on. For this reason, it’s important that all lights are working in the home.

DEPERSONALIZE YOUR HOME

THINK ABOUT CALLING A HANDYMAN

When selling a house, having a handyman you can trust to help make some of the repairs required before selling. Make sure anything and everything that needs to be fixed (like: locks, hardware, leaky faucets, running toilets, cracks in the walls, broken appliances, squeaky doors, etc) is taken care of before listing a home. Otherwise, buyers may think your home hasn’t been well taken care of, which can be a turn-off for many.

Helpful Homeowner Tips TACKLE EMBARRASSING CARPET STAINS Most carpet has stain and soil protection properties on the fiber, making spot and stain removal much easier. Different fibers handle stains differently so it’s always wise to consult a manufacturer’s warranty and specific care instructions.

KNOW THE BASICS • Pick up anything you can with a spoon • Blot liquids with a wet towel. Use another dry cloth to blot up moisture.

That’s blot, don’t scrub.

• Vacuum dried messes • If the stain doesn’t clear, use a small amount of cleaner on soiled area • Rinse your carpet with water after stain treatment REMOVE COMMON FOOD AND DRINK STAINS • To clean most common stains such as coffee, soda pop or juice, use ¼ teaspoon of clear dishwashing liquid and one cup of warm water View it online at www.homefinderguide.com

• Acidic stains like tomato sauce respond well to one tablespoon of ammonia and one cup of water • Alkaline stains like beer respond to one part vinegar and two parts water Eliminate pet messes – Use a detergent solution followed by either the same vinegar or ammonia solution described above if necessary. Do not use steam!

Clean up oily or waxy messes – Use a dry-cleaning solvent that can break up the bond between oil or wax and your carpet’s fibers.

Take on stubborn stains – Substances like blood, mustard and chocolate are particularly tough and may require several rounds of cleaning by blending ammonia and water.

Prevent dirt and grime buildup – Everyday dirt and dust that get ground into carpet fibers are common, but regular cleaning can help. It is recommended to vacuum three to four times per week, depending on the traffic in your home.

Have your carpets deep cleaned every 12 to 18 months.

Remodeling projects to consider for a return on your investment when it comes time to sell your house.

231-796-3595

Fax: 231-796-6440

Helpful Homeowner Tips REMODELING FOR RETURN INVESTMENT

Considering doing some remodeling; but you want to make sure it maximizes the value of the house by choosing the right projects.

Here are some projects tips that may get the best return on your investment.

Typically the kitchen, master bedrooms and bathrooms, and great-rooms or family rooms are the most important spaces inside.

White walls are out, but if you are considering painting the interior for resale, stick to a warm, neutral palette. Wallpaper is making a comeback, but use a simple pattern.

Porcelain tile floors, showers, and backsplashes are great for resale.

16

For unfinished spaces, consult real estate agents in your area. Based on the home values in your neighborhood, they can give you an idea of what your home would sell for with the spaces unfinished versus finished. It doesn’t make sense to spend $35,000 to finish a space if it ends up pricing your home out of the market.

The exterior is important for curb appeal. Vinyl siding is fine on the sides and back of the house, but people like the look of brick, stucco, stone, or painted fiber-cement siding on the front exterior. Brick and stone do not have to be real; faux products are appealing on the exterior if they’re low maintenance.

Helpful Homeowner Tips THE GREEN, GREEN GRASS OF HOME

With the outdoor season upon us, there are a few simple ways to help your lawn stay lush and green and become the pride and joy of your neighborhood. You can start by giving your lawn a good raking to create a de-thatching effect and “wake up” the lawn for the season.

Cutting Regular cutting of the lawn is important because it thickens the grass. Cutting it little and often is better than all in one go. Switch directions and patterns so the grass blades aren’t pressed in the same direction each time. In the middle of summer, you might want to keep the grass a little longer so it withstands periods of drought.

Fertilizing Cutting the grass removes nutrients that need to be replaced to achieve healthy growth. From the beginning of spring, you should fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous are important ingredients for a healthy lawn. Application amounts and instructions are available on most fertilizer packaging.

Watering If you want a lawn that is lush and green all summer, watering is important. How often you need to water your lawn depends on temperature and humidity. When a lawn needs water, the grass will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older grass blades will begin to curl up and wilt. New lawns should be watered once a day so seeds can germinate and a solid root system can form. You can water your lawn by hand or select from a variety of sprinkler options or automated irrigation systems.

With persistence, you can win the battle against weeds using the right tools, herbicides or weed-n-feed products. Also, the grass roots need air in order to grow, therefore it is important to occasionally aerate your lawn to clear away dead roots and thatch to create more breathing space for the lower parts of the grass plus help stems grow better.

EXPAND LIVING SPACES WITH CLEVER IDEAS Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces.

Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable.

A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining.

While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present.

REVAMP A GARAGE OR SHED - Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter.

Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space.

CREATE A RELAXING NOOK - Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.

ADD PRIVACY TO A PORCH - If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer.

Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.
