There's a lot of competition in the housing market these days and you are bound to be up against other similar listings. That is why it's important to make sure your property is in a good state of repair to make that good first impression on potential buyers.
We become so familiar with our surroundings over time that we may not always see our home as a fresh eye might.\
The good news is that these types of repairs are relatively inexpensive, yet make your home show significantly better.
1. DOORWAYS - Inspect all your entry systems closely. Look for sagging screens, cracked glass, squeaks and aging or broken parts. Consider giving your doors a fresh coat of paint.
2. ROOF - Check for missing shingles and have replacements intalled when necessary. Inspect the gutters and remove all accumulated debris.
3. WALLS - Look for nail pops, holes and dents. Patch and paint where necessary.
4. TOILETS - Anchoring nuts tend to corrode over the years so make sure all toilets are secured firmly and replace if necessary.
5. FAUCETS - Inspect ALL faucets. Repair or replace them if necessary.
6. CABINETS - Kitchen and bathroom cabinets get scratched and worn over the years. There are many great scratch repair products on the market that can make your woodwork look almost new.
7. DECKS AND GATES - Loose boards or railings? Sagging gates? Buyers will notice so get them fixed.
