Home Selling Checklist
- Make sure the outside of the home is neat and clean. Grass should be well groomed and free of grass clippings. The roof and gutters should be free of debris, bushes and flower beds should be pruned and trimmed. The house exterior is the FIRST thing the potential buyer will see, you want to make a good first impression.
- The inside should be well cleaned. All counter tops and tables should be free of clutter. You may need to rent a small storage room to store things that you don’t need!
