Tucson Home Selling Tips

A good first impression can make or break the sale of your Tucson area home.  The following Tucson home selling tips that are inexpensive and require less effort than you might think can make a huge impact with potential buyers to create that memorable first impression.

  1. Get rid of any and all clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Cleaning out the garage can also make it appear roomier.
  2. Wash your windows and screens to let more light into the interior and brighten up the house.
  3. Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.
  4. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows to let in some fresh air.
  5. Put higher-wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.
  6. Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression that the house isn’t well maintained.
  7. Tidy your yard. Trim any bushes or plants and sweep the sidewalks and entryways. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway.
  8. Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
  9. Clean your gutters.
  10. Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.
