Tips for selling your home #3 in a 3 part series

First impressions count! You've heard it from your mother and it's true. The first few minutes are important when buyers are out shopping. Make sure that the buyers enter through the front door, even if you never use it as a homeowner. And when they walk in, make sure the front door is clean (even painting it a new color is a good idea) and that the front foyer is ship shape. Even if it is just a small landing pad, make it as spacious as you can with clean floors, no clutter, pleasant odors, and music in the background. Yes, some very subtle classical music is desirable. The buyers may not be classical music lovers but they will definitely have a warmer reaction to your home if they believe that Vivaldi lives there! The two or three weeks you put into getting it ready to sell may be the most profitable investment of time and money you make this year.
