You want your house to sell and you appreciate the fact that your real estate agent is super busy all the time. He/she is busy taking phone calls and answering pages, showing other couples around to their houses, and he is always doing paper work. How can you help your agent to do a more thorough job in selling your house?
1. Make sure your house is in pristine condition at all times of the day. Now that agents can use the lock box the other agents don’t have to call and make an appointment or have someone let them into your house. Therefore your home must be in impeccable shape at all times. Do this, please, for your Brea California homes for sale agent.
2. Allow agents to show your house at all hours of the day even if it is dinner time or bed time. Go out for supper or go for a drive and spend some quality time with the kids because everyone has a different time table that you do. People work all day and then they look at 5-6 houses in the evening and your house might be last. They might give you half an hour notice so please be flexible
3. Do not hang around the house while agents are showing your home. The prospective buyers have to envision themselves living in your house and they can’t do that if your teenagers are lying all over the family room with the music blaring. There are many agents who are busy with homes for sale in Brea California.
4. Remove any photos or memorabilia of yourself and the family. Remove all fridge magnets and papers. Put all toys into storage and then later pull them out and have Christmas all over again.
5. Tidy up the front entrance and make sure coats and shoes are put away. Arrange for a chair or bench to be put in the foyer to help buyers to take off their shoes.
6. Make sure all animals and their toys and litter boxes are gone from the house. The house must be animal free and vacuumed thoroughly. All signs of pets must be gone.
7. We all love to cook but strong odours of spices, rotten food and garbage must be removed. Clean the kitchen with a lemon and vinegar spray bottle. Thoroughly clean all appliances.
8. Shoes and boots can hold odours so please put a dryer fabric sheet into each shoe and put away into a box and put away for the night.
9. During the summer, make sure the lawn care and gardens are taken care of and weeded. Houses in Brea California are a big ticket item.
10. In-ground pools should be clean and properly taken care of. Air conditioning should be turned on during the summer. Real Estate in Brea California is hot commodity.
11. Take a friend or neighbour through the house and ask them to be brutally honest about the house. Act on their advice!
12. When your agent asks you to fix or remove something or to change something, please do so to better show off your house. Be sure to check with Tony Serrano at www.myfreehomeguide.com when looking for homes for sale in Brea California.
