LET “SPACE”

HELP YOU SELL

There is nothing that will turn off prospective buyer faster than the look of a crammed house. Closets jammed with clothing, toys and boxes; messy garages or carports, overfumished rooms; spilling-over bookcases, triple-stacked china cupboards; attics and basements with a flea-market look — all clutterturn buyers off.

Many buyers don’t mention it, but Realtors can see the chill come over them. Some find it distasteful, others find it oppressive, as though they had to cope with all that. Whatever the reaction — it is always negative.

If you want to sell your home, make a good impression on buyers by having it look as spacious as possible. You do this by getting rid of everything extraneous, admitting as much daylight as possible and keeping the place shipshape. Now, not later, is dm time to have your big sorting-out party. Inventory what you are going to sell, give away or throw away when you move. Then take action. Outer space is OK for astronauts. Inner space is -good for homesellers.
