Selling Tips

It's a good idea to place your home on the market as far in advance as possible of purchasing a new one. If you find a new home first and then try to sell your present home, you may wind up with two mortgages. If this does happen, ask your real estate agent or banker about a bridge loan to help you make the double payments. Lenders use the same criteria for offering bridge loans as they use for mortgages. Should you qualify for a bridge loan, beware of the expense; during the term of the loan you must continue to pay both mortgages. Shop around for the best terms.

Check Your Curb Appeal

A home that's visually appealing and in good condition will attract potential buyers driving down the street. Use this checklist to view your property through an outsider's eyes.

• Are the lawn and shrubs well maintained?

• Are there cracks in the foundation or walkways?

• Does the driveway need resurfacing?

• Are the gutters, chimney and walls in good condition?

• Do the window casings, shutters, siding or doors need painting?

• Are garbage and debris stored out of sight?

• Are lawn mowers and hoses properly stored?

• Is the garage door closed?

On the inside, keep your home neat, clean and picked-up at all times. It may not seem fair, but a peek in the oven may be the hallmark by which a buyer judges how well you have kept up your home.

Remove unnecessary clutter from the garage, basement, attic and closets. Also remove any items that might make a statement that would be offensive to others who may not share your same views, beliefs or sense of humor. If your home is crowded with too much furniture, consider putting some things into storage. If a room needs a fresh coat of paint, use a neutral off-white. Think, too, about how your home smells. You may be used to the smell of a pet or cigarettes, but such odors can be a strong turn-off to others.

Inspect the Neighborhood

• Talk to at least five neighbors and merchants.

• Attend a local community meeting.

• Visit local schools if your children will attend.

Test-Drive Your Commute
Avoid buying into a bad commute when you move to a new neighborhood. Take the time to drive to and from the area and your job during rush hour. If the commute is long or complicated, weigh that against other factors you like about a home or area.
