Easy Ways to Prepare Your Kitchen When Selling Your Home.

• Make sure the inside of your refrigerator is spotless. Whether the refrigerator is included in the sale or not, it does not matter. Most buyers will open the refrigerator and check it out with the chance that it can be negotiated into the sale. Old foods and dirty shelves will make buyers wonder how well the rest of the house has been maintained.
• Declutter your kitchen pantry. You want the buyers to feel that the space is big enough for all of their storage needs.
• Remove all items from the outside of the Refrigerator. Magnets, pictures, grocery list…all of these things need to go.
• If you have a hanging pot rack, take it down. Hanging pot racks are distracting, and make the kitchen seem smaller.
• Remove all but two small appliances from the counter tops. Pick two, possibly the coffee maker and the can opener.
• Fresh fruit and vegetables make great centerpieces in the kitchen. No shriveled apples or brown bananas. Remember lemons and limes are long lasting!
• Clean and bright is the main objective for your kitchen. Everything needs to be cleaned well. This includes cabinet fronts, floors, appliances, and trim work such as baseboards, doors, and door frames.

What you should know Before Buying a Home

·         Be sure to ask your realtor what fixes and furniture are being sold with the house.

·         Try flushing the toilets when house shopping. Chugging drains and running water could be plumbing problems.

·         Fixing a home's foundation can be one of the more expensive repairs, so be on the lookout for things like dampness in the basement.

·         Buyers find their new home through an agent more than any other method.

·         Homes in good condition are more likely to get close to their asking price.

·         Three considerations when choosing a home are price, location and condition.

·         New homes can cost about 20 percent more than existing homes.

·         The average U.S. home appreciates 5 to 6 percent per year.

·         A nice view can easily add value of a home, so make sure your home's view is not in danger of being obstructed by future construction.

·         Most buyers view about nine homes before making a selection.

·         Keep a measuring tape handy when touring potential homes to determine if your furnishings will fit.

·         Sixty-eight percent of buyers rank neighborhood as the most important factor when choosing a home.

·         Turn on all kitchen appliances to make sure they are in good working order.
