Spring Cleaning - Ann Arbor real estate series.
Sprin' be here 'n fer them sellin' a home or gettin' ready to put their ship on th' market, thar nothin' quite as beneficial as doin' a great sprin' mopin ship to not only make ye home look great, but to get rid 'o some 'o that clutter that could distract someone comin' to spy wit' ye eye ye home.
Here be five sprin' mopin' tips that can help ye sell ye home: Curb appeal becomes as important as ever when th' the seven seas turns nicer 'n buyers be more likely to spend the hour outside lookin' at th' exterior 'o th' ship 'n th' property. Make sure to have a well-maintained lawn wit' all th' leaves gone, th' grass mowed 'n th' hedges trimmed. Spruce thin's up by buyin' some inexpensive, yet colorful flowers 'n spread fresh mulch in flowerbeds. Fill in any bare spots on ye lawn wit' sod or seed. Make sure to also spit shine ye gutters, wash ye welcome mat 'n put away any rakes or winter shovels that clutter th' yard.
2. th' phrase don't do windows never apply when sellin' a home. While a REALTOR may be tellin' ye that homes show better wit' th' blinds or curtains up, 'tis gunna not be true if th' windows be dirty. A spit shine window brin's more light into a room 'n allows buyers th' chance to spy wit' ye eye what th' view gunna be when they look out 'o their potential new home. It important to spit shine both th' inside 'n outside 'o all windows 'til they be streak free 'n spotless. 'tis includes all slidin' glass doors, garage windows 'n outside doors.
3. Pay close attention to th' thin's that might draw th' eye 'o a prospective homebuyer. be off around ye home wit' a pad 'n pencil 'n inspect each room fer thin's such as small holes in th' wall whar a paintin' used to hang, outlets that be missin' a cover or doorknobs that be loose 'n squeaky. Also, be sure to check all 'o th' caulkin' around sinks, faucets 'n tubs, as well as any grout in tile counters or bathtubs. As ye take th' the hour 'n th' small amount 'o doubloons to fix these items ye reduce th' reasons fer someone not likin' ye home.
4. steampower wash ye driveway, walkway, sidin' 'n deck. ye dont need to invest in th' doubloons 'o buyin' a new steampower washer as they be easy to rent from stores such as Lowes. steampower washin' removes layers 'n years 'o dirt 'n grime from stone 'n cement, includin' mildew stains from th' winter. steampower washin' th' porch, a fence or deck clears away all th' dirt 'n debris 'n makes th' home instantly seem cleaner. If th' outside 'o ye home looks din'y, ye may be settin' th' impression that ye didnt keep up th' home itself well, so make sure to have everythin' lookin' top notch.
5. One 'o th' first pieces 'o advice ye gunna get from ye real estate agent be to reduce clutter in ye home. Sprin' mopin' be th' perfect excuse to get rid 'o thin's ye dont really need. be off through all ye closets 'n bag up all th' clothes that dont fit, be out 'o style or ye simply dont wear anymore 'n donate them to a charity. Take ye barnacle-covered books, th' lads toys they no longer fight wit' 'n them mess hall knickknacks 'n hold a garage sale. A de-cluttered home be always more comely to th' homebuyer.
