(2003© By Wendy Shepherd)
Included below are: Real Estate Tips,
Selling Your House Tips, Real Estate Agents
and Home Owners Need to Know. You can
make selling a home much easier by following
the tips below. Keep in mind that the
price that the home is selling for is
also a factor.
Real Estate Tip #1: You will need to clean
your home thoroughly (Including carpets,
appliances, etc.) or hire a cleaning service.

*Remember, the appliances may be opened
for inspection if they are being sold
with your home.
Real Estate Tip #2: Your home should have
a pleasant fragrance. You can open windows
to let fresh air in.
Real Estate Tip #3: Get rid of clutter.
Closets need to be neat. Put the foo-foo
decorative items away. Some home owners
paint the walls white. Doing things like
this will help the possible buyer visualize
how they may like the house to look if
they bought it.
Real Estate Tip #4: Clean up the yard.
Trim the bushes and trees. Mow the law.
OR you can hire a landscaper to fix up
your yard.
Real Estate Tip #5: Make repairs. Check
for anything that needs to be repaired.
Dripping faucets, knicks in walls, squeaky
doors, loose door knobs, burned out light
bulbs, etc. Check the outside of your
home as well for: window screen tears,
crooked downspouts, etc.
Real Estate Tip #6: Make sure your
real estate agents knows your basic
schedule. You don't want a "house
showing" when you are in the middle
of a meal, or when you are taking a
shower. Telling your real estate agent
basic meal schedules, and appropriate
times to show the home will help both
of you.
Real Estate Tip #7: Right before the
real estate agent comes to show your
house, turn on all lights in the home
for better viewing. Turn the television
off, but you may like to keep on some
soothing music. Make sure your pets
are secure. Do dishes. Take our trash.
Real Estate Tip #8: When the real estate
agent comes to show your home, don't
tag along through the home with them.
You may sit outside on the porch or
in the yard, or visit a neighbor while
they are in your home looking around.
Real Estate Tip #9: Going the extra
mile helps to seal the possible sale
of your house. Why not have a "brochure"
that has actual pictures of each of
the rooms in the home, and other details
of the house. The people who came to
your home will be able to take this
with them and refer to it.
Real Estate Tip #10: Better yet, have
Wendy Shepherd of StudioMatrix at http://www.studiomatrix.com
set you up a "real estate"
webpage with your home and display pictures
of each room for easy access for all
buyers through real estate agents or
from the internet. This helps to broaden
the area you cover to help sell your
house!
