Sherie's Tips for Selling Your Tucson Home
If you put your Tucson home on the market without preparing it for sale, you may have a long wait for an offer. You also may not realize your homes greatest return on investment.
You don't have to turn your pockets inside out to get your home ready to sell. There are many fix-ups that cost absolutely nothing - except your time and energy. These fix-ups could make all the difference in whether or not your home shows well.
Outside Your Home:
1. Spruce up around your home. Keep lawn and shrubbery trimmed and free of clutter. Keep your homes garden beds weeded and muched.
2. Put a flowering pot on your homes front step and keep it watered and trimmed.
3. Fill potholes in your driveway and tidy up walkways.
4. Clean off your outdoor furniture; remove any rust items.
5. Clear out the garage of everything except the cars.
6. Straighten gutters, the mailbox, the fence - and anything else that sags.
7. Fix doorbells, tighten loose door-knobs, and oil squeaking hinges.
8. Repair any broken windows and shutters.
1. Price your Tucson real estate correctly - at today's market value (I can help you decide this).
2. Select a Tucson Real Estate agent who will actively market your home (guess who?).
