Your love of bright colors could be standing in the way of a quick sale. Neutral walls help Buyers visualize their own style within your space. And neutral doesn't have to mean drab...think muted. Every color on the color wheel has a neutral tone. Keep this in mind and you'll be seeing $'s when it's time to sell!

Take a fresh look at the lighting, hardware and accessories you have around your home. Update, replace or store away things that may be keeping your home stuck in an era gone by. Buyers may have a harder time pegging the age of your home if things like lighting, knobs & faucets are updated.

Get it Clean

Scrub, scour, tidy up, straighten, get rid of the clutter, repair squeaks, the light switch that doesn't work, and the tiny crack in the bathroom mirror because these can be deal-killers and
you'll never know what turns buyers off. A clean home free of the obvious repairs will be one that goes first!

Price it Right

You may have an idea of what your home is worth based on your personal opinion or what your neighbors sold for.
