1. Paint the inside & outside. Fresh move-in condition sells.

2. Have a visible sign out front.

3. Put your home on lockbox. If your home can’t be shown, you are literally off the market.

4. Remove clutter. If your home is neat & clean the BUYER thinks you’ve kept up on the repairs & maintenance all along.

5. Ask an objective person to check your house for pet or smoking odor. Air your house out & use potpourri.

6. Pressure clean the driveway, pool area, & roof.

7. Landscape at least the front yard, or put inviting flowers out.

8. Open up blinds & curtains. Light & bright sells in Florida. Turn lights on in dark rooms.

9. Do repairs right away. Don’t wait 5 months to put the new carpeting in. You’ve wasted valuable market time.

10. Offer Special Financing, like holding a second, or points forward BUYERS closing costs etc.

If BUYERS can afford it, 80% of the time, they will choose new construction over resales. Make your home show inviting. I tell BUYERS, resales are good value over new construction, they have extra features over & above the " basic" price.
