Help Your RE/MAX of Wausau Agent Sell Your Home Faster:

1. First Impression
Cut the lawn, trim the shrubs and keep your porch/doorway clean. Touch up your doorway with some paint. In autumn, rake the leaves; in winter, shovel the walkways. Keep all areas tidy.

2. Keep Things Clean
Clean the living room, the bathroom, and kitchen. If the woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, do some touch ups. Fresh wallpaper is a nice touch too. Show people what your home really looks like rather than how it could look.

3. Check Fixtures
Fix drips and replace burned out bulbs.

4. Sticky Doors
If cabinets or closet doors stick use a plane to smooth the edges of the door.

5. Safety
Pick up toys, cords and clothing that visitors may trip on.

6. Make Space
Everyone loves "extra" storage space. Tidy up your attic, closets and basement to show off all the storage space available.

Your bathrooms will be scrutinized, so clean them well. Repair damaged fixtures and faucets. Make sure towels and floor mats are clean and attractive.
