 When it’s time to sell, you must be confident that every element of negotiating the best terms and the highest price has been set before your home is even listed.
Start with the resources I’ve provided. There is no charge for this information. These will help get you started in terms of assessing your real estate situation and planning for a stress-free and successful sale. The real estate market in Parksville is volatile, especially lately, and it takes an experienced professional to move your house quickly, professionally, and profitably. When you’ve decided to sell, I will be your advocate, your guide, and your fierce negotiator. I will work hard to make yours a great sale. I look forward to it. Sincerely,

Preparing Your Home for Sale
|
|
Below you will find some "inside secrets" in order to increase the "sell-ability" of your home.
* LESS IS MORE: Too much furniture in a livingroom, kitchen, or even on a deck or patio can make a spacious area seem small. Consider putting some items in storage. * DON'T FORGET THE BACKYARD: Think of it as one of the many rooms of the house - a living area that must look clean and inviting to the buyer. Get rid of empty plant boxes and bowls, as well as any unhealthy plants. Prune shrubs and trees. Eliminate unsightly items like decaying firewood or open garbage pails.
* LIGHT IT UP: Turn on lamps in darker corners. Consider putting extra lighting in key areas like the basement and kitchen. But don't over do it!! Lights should be bright and pleasing; not blinding.
* REPAIR AND REPAINT CRACKS: A crack anywhere in the house - in a wall, ceiling or foundation - is a psychological "stopper" for a home buyer. He or she thinks, perhaps for good reason, "Are there other issues with this house that I can't see?"
* KEEP CURTAINS AND BLINDS OFPEN DURING SHOWINGS: Nothing beats natural light for making a house look bright and appealing. Even at night, exposing the windows makes each room seem more attractive.
