Let the Scrubbing Begin

The first order of business is to make your Chicago real estate shine from top to bottom, inside and out. There is no such thing as too clean. Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. 

People don’t buy dirty, messy homes! You would think that this is obvious, but an amazing number of people put their home on the market without cleaning it up first.

Your home should be clean, but that’s just the beginning. Odors from smoking and pets will scare buyers away fast. Now is also the time to fix all of those little items that you’ve been meaning to get to.

IT’S SHOW TIME!

Once the price is set and the preparation is done, bring on the Chicago real estate buyers!

But be careful, knowing what to say and what to do when potential Chicago Illinois buyers arrive to look at your home can make a big difference. Always greet them courteously, and hand them a home information brochure. If they are with a real estate agent, try to stay out of the way.

If you are selling your home yourself, casually guide them through your home, starting with your homes most outstanding features. Stay with them, but give them room to breathe, or you may make them uncomfortable.
