Second topic in Series 1<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s all about getting your home ready to sell \u2013\u00a0 All things Bathroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Selling a home in an expeditious \"Sell manner will largely be dependent upon how you prepare your home when selling. If you\u2019re not too crazy about the idea of having to do some work before selling your home, then you need to settle upon the fact that you\u2019ll sell your home for less money. It\u2019s true. No need to sugar coat it otherwise. However, if you choose to utilize my Real Estate home selling tips to spiff up your bathroom(s), you\u2019ll be pocketing more money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So what about the bathrooms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Look at your Bathroom \u2013 what do you see?<\/h2>\n

Pretend for just a moment that you\u2019re a prospective home Buyer. If you were out searching for a home to buy and came across a bathroom in a home, what would be some of the things that you would find appealing, even if it wasn\u2019t all about upgrades? Read below and tell me if it hits home with you on how to get your bathroom ready when selling a home.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stand at your bathroom doorway \u2013 what do you see? Where are your eyes drawn, either pleasantly or not so pleasantly. That unsightly draw is a clear sign of what you\u2019ll need to address. The pleasant draw is a good thing\u2026carry on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There very well may be unsightly items that you\u2019ve come so accustomed to that you hardly notice them any more. Like that cabinet door hinge that is loose or what about your loose toilet seat cover that is flailing in the wind; every time you sit down it\u2019s like you\u2019re getting ready to surf with the movement from left to right! Ha\u2026tighten up those underside toilet seat cover bolts! Or how about the dirty A\/C ceiling vent overhead? Get on your step stool and wipe it down. Don\u2019t let a prospective home Buyer think that you neglect things in your home. A red flag for lack of maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

What is on top of your countertops?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

See that toothbrush and toothpaste laying out? You\u2019ll want to make sure you store that away in your bathroom cabinet. Your countertops need to be free of anything other than a decorative piece or two.\u00a0 Not sure what is decorative and looks good on your countertop, just ask me and I\u2019ll make some recommendations in your bathroom. I\u2019ve got a knack for interior design and decorating\u2026yes, my skills expand beyond selling a home!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This recommended minimalism on your bathroom countertops is critically important, especially when you\u2019re selling a home with bathrooms that are on the small side.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to make it appear that your bathrooms are as large as possible \u2013 cluttered tops display to prospective home Buyers that your bathrooms aren\u2019t large enough for your bathroom storage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

What\u2019s in your cabinets?\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now is the time to clean and organize the inside of your cabinets. Have you been lacking in storage over the years? If so, don\u2019t let the Buyer know that \u2013 clean out the things you\u2019re not using every day and make room or space. Cabinets stacked full is a turn off to Buyers and they will open your cabinets to see. They want to know that your cabinets provide space for their things.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

What is the condition of your shower and\/or bathtub?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Missing grout or moldy grout? If you\u2019re not handy, hire a handyman to replace any missing grout or grout that is less than attractive.\u00a0 You\u2019d be amazed at how prospective home Buyers will knock dollars off their purchase offer for seeing visually disturbing grout areas. Don\u2019t give them an opportunity to reduce their offer.\u00a0 Plus a bathroom that appears to have been well cared for will bring in a higher purchase price, as the Buyer thinks you must have been caring for your whole house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

What about your faucets?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unless you have recently replaced your bathroom sink faucet, consider replacing it with a new fixture. A hands free one would be particularly welcome, especially in light of our nations focus on cleanliness to avoid viruses. Smart technology makes hands free brilliant and appealing to those Buyers who demand smart technology. They do tend to be a bit pricier, so if not in your budget a \u201chands on\u201d faucet will work too!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Shower doors and curtains<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now is the time to remove the soap scum from your shower door or replace any worn shower curtain.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you bring your glass shower door up to par, invest in a squeegee<\/a> to clean your doors after every shower you take thereafter. You\u2019d be amazed at how well they work to keep your door brilliantly clean! I\u2019ll never forget when I had invested in one of them \u2013 love it!<\/p>\n
