Selling the Details

Posted by Barry Evans in Chattanooga TN Real Estate

 Dear Pat,

Selling the Details
It is the little things–both positive and negative–that can make a big difference to prospective buyers. Pay close attention to detail when you prepare your home to sell.
Before you list your home, go through the house with a careful eye. Fix any loose door knobs, popped screen doors, and loose grout around the tub and shower. A coat of fresh paint can work wonders to dress up a house. Wash the windows, hang a healthy plant from the bathroom skylight, and clean out the closets. Arrange the furniture to make the room look larger. If the rooms look cluttered, put your extra furniture into storage. You can brighten up a room by increasing the wattage of the light bulbs. Going the extra mile to showcase your home will pay significant dividends when it’s time to show it to buyers.

Real Estate during the Holidays

Posted by Barry Evans in Chattanooga TN Real Estate

Now is still a really good time for Real Estate in Chattanooga, Hixson, Ooltewah Tennessee areas. Buyers can, and do, get serious during this busy time of year. Lots of sellers take their homes off the market during the holidays, assuming no one will be buying at this time. But with serious buyers still out there and a lower inventory of homes, your home has a good chance of standing out. With fewer homes for sale, competition is decreased. There are good reasons to sell your home during the holidays.
