1.  First Impressions are very important - Curb appeal is vital.  your lawn should be trimmed, sidewalks swept, front door clean, and doorbell working. 

2.  Painting for a higher sales price - A minor investment in paint will pay big dividends in the form of a higher sales price and/or a quicker sale.

3.  Don’t be a Drip - Fix leaky faucets, dripping water suggests faulty plumbing and major repair bills.  Discolored, ruststained sinks are also warning signs.  The house should be clean and sparkling.

4.  Little things mean alot - Loose doorknobs or cabinet pulls, sticking doors and drawer, wobbly hinges, stuck windows — are all negative factors.  Check and repair all these minor flaws. 

5.  Saftey First - Keep stairways and corridors absolutely clear.   Clutter is unattractive and can cause accidents. 

6.  Bathrooms sell homes - Make bathrooms sparkle.  Clean sinks and toilets and repair any damaged or discolored caulking. 

7.  From top to bottam - Let prospects see the full value of your basement, attic garage and closets by removing junk and cartons.  Rent a short-term storage space if necessary.
