There are many things you can do – without breaking the bank – to make your Pittsburgh Area home the best on the market. 

 

Preparing your home for sale doesn’t require emptying your wallet, it’s about being smart, knowing what your home really needs and how it measures up to its neighbors. 

 

First and foremost, you want to be sure your home is in good mechanical and aesthetic condition.  Do cabinet drawers and doors all work smoothly and properly?  Should the carpet be replaced?   Do all the doors work quietly? Repair any leaky plumbing?   No broken windows.  Fix all the screens.  Replace all the light bulbs.  Update light switches.  Install ceiling fans.  How does the paint trim look? 

 

Kitchen and baths always sell homes and bring you the best return on your investment.  Updating a kitchen or bath can be as simple as new hardware on cabinets; new backsplash; add under cabinet lighting; update faucets and light fixtures. 

 

Understanding the competition is crucial to maximizing your efforts.  Look to see what your neighbor has; you want to be the best on the block. This applies to all neighborhoods and all income levels. Contact me and I will arrange a time for us see the competition.
