Selling Highlands NC Real Estate, Keep Homes Clean
Lynn Kimball, Highlands NC real estate
Keep homes clean when selling Highlands NC real estate. If a seller does nothing else to prepare a home for sale, cleaning it and keeping it clean is essential. Nothing repels a buyer like a dirty, disorganized, chaotic home. An experienced Highlands NC REALTOR will offer advice as well as recommendations for reputable local cleaning companies.
Keep odors under control
Even if a Highlands NC home looks clean, if it smells then it will not feel clean. Keeping aromas neutral is important. In fact, perfume, scented candles, or potpourri can often be offensive or overwhelming. Additionally, heavy scents can lead some buyers to wonder what the aromas might be covering up. Garbage, pet smells, and cigarette smoke should be eradicated before a home is ever available for a showing. Open windows and let fresh air in and hire a mitigation company if necessary.
Wipe everything down
All surfaces in a Highlands NC home for sale should be clean. This includes counters, walls, floors, windows, trim, and railings. In addition to literally being cleaned with products and wiped down, flat surfaces like counters, shelves, and furniture should be free of clutter. Special attention should be paid to kitchens and bathrooms. Keep in mind that dirty fingerprints, holes from hanging pictures, and dust above door and window frames will detract.
