DON'T SELL A HOUSESELL

A HOME

If you are considering selling your home, remember this bit of advice: Buyers are not looking for a roof to keep the rain off their heads - they re looking for a new lifestyle. You are not selling a house - you re selling a HOME! With this in mind, it's important that you set the stage for buyer showings.

Keep your home clean, neat and cozy at all times. You might have to show it on short notice. The kitchen is the focal point of any home. Everything should be spioand-span with dishes washed and excess paraphernalia tucked away. Beds should be made, kids' clothes stowed and riot left where kids usually leave them (sometimes, on the floor).

Decorator touches help a lot: Vases or pots of flowers, colorful pillows, mirrors on the walls to make rooms look more spacious. Mow the lawn, touch up any peeling paint. Dont start major renovations, but do make obviously needed small repairs, such as a leaky faucet, tom screen or peeling paint. Remember what you re selling.
