Tips to keep in mind when selling in the Okanogan county real estate market

• The outside of the home is just as important if not more important than the inside of the home

If you can get the buyer to actually come into your home you have already done half the work. Make sure the curb appeal of your home stands out among your neighbors in a good way, and that your flowers are fresh, lawns are mowed and driveways are clear. If you have to hire a professional gardner to keep your landscaping up while your home is on the market. If you can't re-paint the entire home maybe think about touching up the trim to give it a fresh new look. (Visit my Bozeman MT real estate source for more info on buyers staging.)

• Once you have them in the house don't loose them at the front door.

Keep the entry way clear and free from any shoes, coats or other obstacles. The buyers will be at the door for a bit while the agent unlocks the door so make sure there is nothing to detract them from the fantastic house they are about to enter. Make sure the rooms flow together and each room is staged for what it was built for. This means that there is an actual dining table in the dining room and preferably set when you have a showing. Only a couple items on the kitchen counters and that pantrys and cabinets are clear and organized. Yes, buyers will check those out too.

Make sure you have taken down all personal items and photos. You don't want to distract from the square footage and general feel of the home. They will have their own items so just some neutral pictures and trinkets will do.

Clean those bathrooms till they sparkle. Make sure all unpleasant odors are gone, not just masked over and clean fresh towels do wonders for a bathroom. Keep beds fresh and made with soft, generic bedding. No man wants to enter a room that is bathed in florals. Stage your home for all buyers.

• Price it right... the first time

This is by far the toughest part of the seller's job. It is ultimately your decision what to price your home at but by starting too high and chaseing the market down and down only makes you sit longer on the property you really want to get rid of.
