Another sure way to tell besides, the weather and our vine stocks  is the Real Estate Market. Marketing your home in the spring and summer can really be a bit of a challenge...why so, because we typically have more inventory ...meaning more homes on the market thus more competition.  If circumstances have you looking at selling your home here are a few tips that I’ve put together that have been proven to really work in getting quicker results.

14 Suggestions To Help Sell Your Home Faster

1. Tidy the grounds, porch, garage and sheds. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged. Make sure the yard is clean of all refuse.

2. Your front door gives a vital first impression. Make sure it is clean from all fingerprints, grime, and any repairs needed are done.

3. Dress up your windows, make sure they are clean and the drapes are pressed and washed.

4. If any updating is needed do it now! Especially in the kitchen. $20 gallon of paint can net you $100’s in the sale price or negotiations.

5. Bathrooms help sell homes make this one sparkle.

6. Don’t forget to replace all burnt out bulbs. Lighting is key to showcasing your home and enhancing the warm atmosphere.

7. Wash all dirty dishes, put away clothes, straighten up home offices and put away all newspapers, junk mail and magazines.

8. Make up beds with attractive spreads. (purchase ones if you have too a $50 bedspread can  work wonders).

9. Avoid being present during showings. The potential Buyer will feel like an intruder and will hurry through the house. Leave showing the house up to the Realtor, this is their business they know their clients needs.

10. Keep all steps and hallways clear of hazards, open clean pathways give the feeling of space.

11. Never apologize for appearance. It only accents or distracts.
