Could you give a seller some tips?
Putting my house on the market 10/3. What tips do you have, other than the typical realtor tips?

Re: Could you give a seller some tips?
Clean, declutter, clean, clean, declutter, and clean some more!
Clean out the inside of cabinets and drawers (kitchen/bathroom and any other built-ins because they will be opened).
Make sure that everything that is supposed to work does work (lights, fans, faucets, appliances, etc.).
Fresh paint or at least touch up if needed to make the house look fresh and clean.
Clean your carpets (even if the prospective buyers are thinking about changing out the flooring, dirty carpets might indicate a dirty house and you do not want to give them that impression).
Mow your yard and trim the bushes.
Deodorize your home--do not try to mask odors with candles, etc.

Don't forget to clean & organize closets too. If your closets are packed to the gills, it looks like you don't have enough storage.

Be realistic with pricing and reasonable with access for showings.
Clean your AC intakes and change the filters, and clean the gutters. Nothing says, "We don't maintain our house" like plants in the gutters and thick dust on the HVAC filters.
I couldn't agree more!

Clean clean clean.
Get rid of clutter, clean out the closets and cupboards.
Touch up the paint or repaint glaringly bright walls
Clean out the garage.
Clean your gutters, and clean up the yard and shribs.
Powerwash driveways and sidewalks, and vinyl siding if you have it.
