Preparing your home for a successful sale is paramount. Below is a check list that will help your property attain the value you are offering. Ensure that the following is done for viewing and show days:

The Entrance - It is the first and the last impression a buyer will have of your home, make sure it is a good one!

Driveway, garages and carports - Ensure that the garage door is in good working order and that it is neat and tidy. Make sure that the driveway is free of weeds and oil stains.

Patios and balconies -Cut back creepers which might be preventing light from entering rooms. Keep steps clear of hazards.

Windows -Replace cracked or broken panes, wash windows and check fittings and paintwork. Curtain rails must be firmly attached and curtains should be clean and properly hung.

Doors -Check paintwork, polish handles and locks, oil hinges and tighten door knobs.

Cupboards - Untidy or overcrowded cupboards suggest inadequate storage space.

Floors & carpets - Professional steam cleaning will rejuvenate a tired looking wall to all carpet and a good polish will bring out the natural beauty of wooden floors.

Plumbing and bathrooms - If basins and bath tubs are stained and cannot be cleaned, re-enameling is relatively inexpensive and adds value to your home. Replace broken tiles, fix noisy or leaking toilets, repair all dripping taps, and repair broken silicone around the bath, shower and basin.

Garden and sprinker system - Ensure the garden is tidy and that the sprinkler is in good working order. Ensure hedges are neatly trimmed and plants and flower beds are watered regularly.

Prepare your property for show days

Pick up every room - Check counters, halls, floors and stairs. Straighten up or remove newspapers, magazines, mail, toys, clothing, recreation gear, dishes etc.

Turn all the lights on -Even those in cupboards and storerooms, electric lights have an amazing capability for creating al illusion of lightness, airiness and space.

Open all the curtains and blinds -Do all that you can to create a light and bright ambiance. Make up the beds neatly and attractively.

The kitchen - Be sure all counter tops are clear and clean, wipe down appliances and make sure that all dishes are out of site.

Clean air - Keep air fresheners in the cupboards, bathrooms and kitchen. Keep kitchen and bathroom odours fresh .

Music - Soft, pleasant music in the background helps set the tone.

The bathrooms - Keep a set of fresh attractive towels in each bathroom.

The entrance - It is the first and last impression that the buyer will have of your home, make sure it is a good one!
