Buyers are looking for a good value in their next home. First impressions are important. Everything should be neat, clean and uncluttered. You might even need to start packing before your home is on the market. Less is definitely more! Buyers need to be able to see each room and envision themselves living there. Buyers are not stopping by to admire your collections and nick knacks. It will be well worth the time and effort to pack away all unnecessary items before you open the door to buyers. Also limit personal photos and children's artwork. If your home seems too personalized to you and your family, buyers will have trouble feeling at home in YOUR space. If you have any deferred maintenance items, take care of them if at all possible. For every thing a buyer notices that is not right, they wonder how many other undesirable aspects of the home are hidden.
There are some small things you can do that make a big impact with buyers. I encourage you to consider improvements that don't cost much. Professional carpet cleaning usually costs just a few hundred dollars but can likely bring out years worth of lif. If your walls were recently painted, touch up paint might accomplish the same result as completely repainting plus save time and money. You never know if the next owner of your home might have a special wall color preference or want wood flooring where you currently have carpet. For these reasons, it can be wise to avoid replacing flooring or counter tops if possible. Keep in mind that there are times when it is necessary to repaint and replace materials. Look at other homes that are comparable to yours in price, size and location. Your Realtor can help compare your home with it's competition. If other homes in your area and price range have solid surface counter tops, a six-burner cook top and hardwood flooring, you might need to bring your house up to fit buyer expectation. Just remember that it's difficult to picks colors and materials that will appeal to every buyer. If considerable improvements are necessary to compete with other available homes, warm neutral tones are usually safe choices that will appeal to many buyers.

There are various online resources available to search homes for sale. As a Realtor, I have access to detailed information that might not be included on public home search websites. Additionally, I can set up a custom property search for you based on your specific needs. Perhaps you would like a house with a main level master bedroom, a bonus room or you need to be in a certain school zone. I can email you listings that satisfy these specific criteria. This will help you avoid sorting through bunches of listings that don't meet your needs. Also, mapping resources can show you where your target properties are located and save you time and gas money. 
INSPECTION: I always recommend that you get a home inspection by a certified inspector. No matter how new or old a home is, there are lots of mechanical and structural parts that need to be checked. The inspection looks beyond physical appearances. The inspector will go in the attic, crawl under the house and look at visible electrical plumbing and structural components. In some cases, the inspector will recommend further investigation by a specialist such as a plumber, electrician or structural engineer. I have had a few occasions where a buyer decided not to buy a house because of details that the inspector found. That is why this paragraph is included in the contract- to help protect you! I just want to be sure that you are aware of the condition of the house. There is also an opportunity to ask the owner to make repairs based on the inspection report. The buyer must pay for the home inspection. Cost for a general home inspection usually starts around $250 to $300 for a small home. Costs vary based on the size of the house, the age of the home, the location and the services performed. The buyer or the buyer's agent will schedule the inspection.
A day or so before closing the title company will prepare a closing statement or HUD-1 document. This closing statement has all the charges and credits associated with the sale and purchase of the property. It will show the amount the buyer needs to bring to closing to purchase the property. Funds required at closing must be in the form of a cashier's check or money order. The title company cannot accept funds by personal check. The title company or the Buyer's agent can get this amount before closing.
