Preparing your home for sale
Select an agent. If you have made any significant improvements
or repairs to your home, make copies of any documentation,
plans, permits and bills for the work completed. Locate owner's manuals and warranties
for appliances. Obtain a current 'Real Property Report
with Compliance'. Contact you bank for an updated mortgage
statement. Ask about payout penalties. Choose a lawyer. Make copies of your last year's utility
bills. Make extra copies of house keys. Consider a fresh coat of paint on the
front door, and make sure locks, hinges and doorbell are in good working
order. Replace any burnt-out bulbs, and use
high-wattage bulbs in all areas of the home. Attend to small repairs. Clear off countertops and remove photos
and magnets from the refrigerator door. Remove all unnecessary items from closets. Have a garage sale!
