Make Your Home More Saleable Without Spending a Fortune

When you are selling your home there are three major factor- price, location and condition, two of which you can control. One of the most common questions I get is “what can I do to make my house sell quickly and for a good price?”  Pricing it right is always important but this article is going to focus on condition.

I have prepared a 20 point checklist of inexpensive things you can do to get top dollar and sell as fast as possible. Once you read through the list it should stimulate some more ideas.

I will be glad to take a look at your home and make some suggestions and work with you to set the right price.

You can call or text me at 847-401-7904, email me at Anne.Kaplan@cbexchange.com or fill out a quick form telling me about your home.
