Selling your house?? GET IT READY!!

If you are getting ready to sell your house, or it is already on the market and possibly not seeing much activity….C&C Home Services can help you by cleaning it up and making minor repairs!

1st thing….LISTEN TO YOUR REALTOR and take their advise!  If s/he tells you to clean, make repairs or update something…you should.  Your Realtor is a great source of information – they know what you need to do to help get your house sold & they understand what buyer’s are looking for - and expect that you maintained - in a new home!

C&C Home Services can help get your house clean!

• Clean your EXTERIOR SIDING and GUTTERS.  A potential buyer will not like dirty siding and full gutters.  Also, cleaning the exterior of your home & the gutters could help you find possible maintenance issues that need to be addressed before an inspector comes and finds them & the buyer’s have to ask for things to be repaired/replaced.
• Clean your WINDOWS.  Clean windows have an amazing effect on your home not only by letting more light into your home so it appears open, fresh & clean…but draws people to your outdoor living spaces as well.
• Clean your DECK.  Iowa weather quickly weathers your deck, fading the stain and turning the boards gray.  Clean it to remove dirt & stains, remove old faded or peeling stain and then brighten it help get the color back to like it used to be.  Then stain & seal it for added benefit to a new buyer.  These few (& easy) steps will make a remarkable difference in the appearance of the deck.
• Clean your CONCRETE.  Typically, your driveway, sidewalk & garage floors are the most neglected part of your home, that are often the dirtiest.  Removing dirt, stains & oil spots is very important to the curb appeal of your house.

 
C&C Home Services can help you make repairs & updates!

• Repair holes in walls
• PAINT rooms.  Remember, not everyone one will like your color choices – you need to make your home appeal to anyone who walks in the door.  Rooms need to be painted in a neutral color.
• Recaulk tubs, showers and sinks.
• Replace your kitchen cabinet hardware.
• Fix doors & drawers that are not working properly.
• Fix leaking faucets.
• PEST CONTROL. Treat for pests, get rid of cobwebs.
• Replace outdated lighting fixtures.
• Secure handrails.
• Install new blinds. 
• HAUL it away!  If you can’t sell it or donate it…get rid of it!  Do NOT leave ‘stuff’ or garbage behind!
• And so much MORE!!  Just ask!

 
If potential buyers feel like there is too much work THEY need to do on your home – it will deter them from making you an offer.  Show buyers that your home was well cared for and maintained.
