Buying a Cabin, Home or Vacant Land

Selling your Cabin, Home or Vacant Land

Rule 1: If the house is in poor condition, improvements can increase the sales price.

Rule 2: A thousand dollars spent to improve a home that is in good condition, seldom adds a thousand dollars to its sales price.

Rule 3: Nothing adds value to a home like improvements to kitchens and bathrooms

Also feel free to ask one of the Realtors here at Jefferson Real Estate about what would be the best approach to help sell your mountain property.

 

Clutter and dark colors turn off most buyers. That means getting rid of everything you can live without. Have a garage sale to eliminate unnecessary items. Use the money you earn to put some of your bulkier possessions in storage.

Bright lights and white walls make rooms look bigger. If you plan to paint, use light colors and woods. Replace lights with higher wattage bulbs.

Clear kitchen countertops as much as possible. Reduce number of items in cabinets. Arrange clothing neatly in each closet and reduce number of items stored on shelves and on the floor. Clean and organize your basement, attic and garage.

Clean everything - carpets included. Ask a friend to assess your efforts, especially sensitive areas like odors.

Wash windows and mirrors.

Clean the oven and all appliances. Clean all grease spatters and polish chrome fixtures and surfaces. Clean window treatments and carpets. Replace worn, stained and odorous carpeting. Clean smudges, especially around doorknobs and light switches.
 

Exterior

A well kept exterior implies a well maintained home. Stain your cabin/home as needed. Clean up dead fall and dead trees around the home. Remove dead limbs and debris from shrubs and trees.

Repair fences and touch-up with paint or stain. Store any equipment, toys and other outdoor items away neatly. Board dog or other large pets with neighbors while showing the house or have a place for the pets that does not interfere with access to the house.

The front entrance of your home is a key part of the "First Impression." Paint, clean or stain the front door. Remove old screens if they don't fit or operate properly. Make sure entry light and doorbell are in working order.  Stone walkways add some nice appeal.

Replace missing house numbers and make sure the number is visible from the street in the early evening.

Put out a nice welcome mat and a potted plant if you have room on steps or entrance way.
