Does Your Home Stink
Looking to sell your Boise home? Here is a quick tip to help you get the your home sold quickly and for more money than you would get if you did not follow this Boise real estate tip.
Invite a friend over and have them take a “sniff” around. Does your home stink? Homes that have a bad odor to them give potential homebuyers a bad impression of your home and may not offer you the full asking price, they may even walk away altogether.
If you are a smoker, don’t smoke in the house and try to keep the smoky smell out. If you have pets, whether you smell it or not your home smells. So here is the best advice if you smoke, quit. It is bad for you. If you have pets see if you can keep them somewhere else until you get your home sold.
Take time to clean carpets, rugs, curtains, etc and rid the home of any odor that may be offensive or give the homebuyers the impression that your home is not well maintained.
Wanna Sell Your Home
Serious homeowners looking to sell their Boise home understand the importance of a complete military style cleaning of their home before showing it to real estate agents and home buyers. Clean houses sell better than dirty one and for more money. No room should be left out. Clean and maintain the kitchen, bathrooms, garage, basement, bedrooms etc and make sure they stay clean. You never know when someone will call to come over to view the home.
If the inside of your home has not been painted for some time, it may be a good idea to paint. A fresh coat of paint, white or off-white, will make the house look bigger and whiter along with adding that new home smell.
Clean the carpets and get rid of worn rugs, if necessary replace the carpet as well. Get rid of any lingering smells that may be trapped in the carpet like pet odors, ESPECIALLY pet odors.
By adding high intensity light bulbs to your fixtures you can make rooms appear larger, brighter, and more cheerful.
De-clutter the closets and clean them as well. Make them look organized and roomy. While you are at it remove much of the unneeded stuff sitting around your home and any furniture that isn’t necessary. Consider having a garage sale to get rid of stuff you no longer need or want.
All these things go a long way in selling your home. First impressions count and in today’s Boise real estate market you want to beat the competition.
