Longboat Key Florida Real Estate Sales

Helpful Strategies for the home seller.

The First Impression
The front of your home is the first thing a prospective buyer sees, make sure it is presentable.

Let There Be Light
Light can make a room look bigger, and it makes your home more inviting to a prospective buyer. Make sure to pull back the drapes during the day, and turn on the lights in the evening.

Repairs
Fix those loose doorknobs, hinges, and sticking windows. Home buyers are watchful for rusty pipes and leaky faucets. Call the plumber for an inspection to make sure everything.

Add Some Flair
Do some last minute decorating. Just adding a few small paintings, some colorful throw pillows, or a unique light fixture can breathe new life into a room.

Show By Appointment Only
Your job is to make sure the house is ready to show. Cathy will schedule all showings, including those from other real estate agencies.

Small Investments Create Big Payoffs
Worn down wood and faded walls can be healed inexpensively with a few cans of paint and a couple rolls of wallpaper. It will give your home a newer shine that can wow a buyer.

Spring Clean In Any Season
Do a thorough cleaning of the entire home, including the attic, closets, and storage areas. Neat and clean areas create the illusion of a bigger space and are more pleasing for a prospective buyer to view.

Safety First
Be sure to keep staircases and hallways free of clutter, as this can be unsightly and dangerous.

Your Bath Should Make A Splash
Scour bathroom sinks and bowls, replace cracked tiles, recaulk where needed and make sure towels are clean and folded neatly.

Keep Your Distance
Try to be out of the house when it is being shown. If you do stay home, let Cathy do her job; stay in the background and try not to distract the tour.

Leave It To The Pro's
Cathy is a well-trained professional. Let her handle the topics of selling price, terms and conditions, date of closing, etc. She will negotiate on your best behalf.

Preparation Is Key
Be sure to leave your home in good condition each morning because it may need to be shown on the turn of a dime.
