The first thing that a prospective buyer sees is your curb. So ensure that your curb appeals to the senses of the buyer. You can do this by adding a coat of paint to the main door. You can also paint the garage door. Keep the mailbox neat and clean. Keep the lawn raked of leaves. Place potted plants strategically. Do not park your used Nissan Juke or any other used car in the curb; rather park it inside the garage. The house should look beautiful from the outside and remember the old cliché; the first impression is the best impression, so impress the buyer with these changes.

Once the prospective buyer is impressed with the exterior, the person needs to be impressed with the interior and this can be achieved by placing a nice statue or fountain or something enchanting as soon as they enter. Also you should remove excess furniture because your house will look bigger when there is less furniture. Natural light is also very important, so remove any furniture that hampers natural lighting. If a lot lf natural light enters the house, the better the chances of selling your home. The buyer will feel that they can enjoy the light and space and they will also envision placing their furniture around the house. Once the buyer starts behaving as if they want to live there, then you have them hooked and you can get the price that you want.

Also do small repairs around your home. Do not forget to change the broken or cracked tile. If a faucet is dripping, ensure that it does not drip. Ensure that the heaters are working. These are small repairs and if a prospective buyer sees that they are not repaired the person will negotiate for a lower price. Hence it is better to make small repairs and sell at a higher price.

The kitchen is very important if you plan to close a deal. Keep the kitchen neat and clean. Keep it airy and well lit. When a prospective buyer is expected, bake bread or cookies and seat them in the kitchen and offer them freshly baked bread and cookies. The fresh aroma of baked cookies and bread will make them feel better and also make the buyer feel that they can sit around the kitchen and enjoy good food. Many home deals have been done in the kitchen and many will be done in the future too.
