new constructionhomeWhen selling a home in Southern Indiana or Kentucky, the biggest selling point is neatness and cleanliness, even when it comes to newly finished homes.  It’s a matter of pride.  Basement walls are painted a light color.  All windows are washed and all trash is hauled away.  Lawns and yards should be cleared of clutter, especially kids toys.  Grass should be cut, walks edged,  and hedges cut.  Give the yard a well kept look .  Clean your house and buildings up, make everything neat.  Exteriors should be washed, painted and repaired if needed.  The garage should be straightened up and its walls painted.  All doors and windows should be in good operating order and clean.  Sellers should consider storing unnecessary clutter elsewhere but don’t store unwanted items in closets.  All plumbing problems should be repaired so that there are no leaks.  Replace all light bulbs with higher wattage bulbs.  When the house is shown, all lights should be on for a well lit presentation of the home.  Bathrooms should be neat, clean and fresh smelling.  Beds should be made.  The appliances should all be clean and all dishes washed and out of the sink.  When a realtor needs to show your home, be polite and leave the home so that the buyers are more comfortable about looking through and talking about the house.  An hour or so before the buyers are to arrive bake cookies or light a candle to give the house an at Home smell.
