Open up in the Daytime
Let the sun shine in! Pull back your curtains and
drapes so prospects can see how bright your Utah County home
is. When you take the following steps, you’ll help Team
Teasdale Realty sell your home faster, at the best possible
price. Remember these selling tips when selling a home in
Utah County.
The easiest and most reliable way to improve showing your
home in Utah County is to enlist a Realtor that is trained in
staging a home. Our Associate Broker Dave Teasdale is a
certified home staging specialist. Turn on the excitement by
turning on all your lights - both inside and outside -
when showing your home in the evening. Lights add color
and warmth, and make prospects feel welcome.
Make the Most of that First
Impression
A well-manicured lawn, neatly
trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome
prospects. So does a freshly painted – or at least
freshly scrubbed – front door. If it’s autumn, rake the
leaves. If it’s winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer
obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your
home, the better. Make a good impression when showing
your home in Utah County.
Invest a Few Hours for Future
Dividends
Clean up the living room, the bathroom, the
kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is
fading, consider some minor redecoration. Fresh
wallpaper adds charm and value to your property. If
you’re worried about time, hire professional cleaners or
painters to get your house ready. Remember, prospects
would rather see how great your home really looks than
hear how great it could look "with a little work."
Painting is the cheapest way to make the biggest
improvement.
Check Faucets and Bulbs
Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors sinks, and
suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs
or faulty wiring leave prospects in the dark.
Don’t Shut Out a Sale
If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can
be sure they will also stick in a prospect’s mind. Don’t
try to explain away sticky situations when you can
easily plane them away. A little effort on your part can
smooth the way toward a closing. Remember these selling
tips when selling a home in Utah County.
Think Safety
Utah
County homeowners learn to live with all kinds of
self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs,
slippery throw rugs, bikes in the driveway and low
hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as
non-perilous as possible for uninitiated buyers. Get rid
of any hazards when showing your home in Utah County.
Make Room for Space
Remember, potential Utah
County Buyers are looking for more than
just comfortable living space. Utah buyers are
looking for storage space, too. Make sure your attic and
basement are clean and free of unnecessary items. Buyers
in Utah like a nice food storage area. It comes
with the demographics of Utah. Don't make much effort
cleaning a food storage area. Buyer's don't expect this area
of the home to be immaculate.
Consider Your Closets
The better organized a closet, the larger it appears.
Now’s the time to box up those unwanted clothes and
donate them to charity. Hey, DI is in Provo and they
have a drive thru!
Make Your Bathroom Sparkle
Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check and
repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and
showers. For added allure, display your best towels,
mats, and shower curtains. Remember these selling tips
when selling a home in Utah County.
Create Dream Bedrooms
Wake up prospects to the cozy comforts of your bedrooms.
For a spacious look, get rid of excess furniture.
Colorful bedspreads and fresh curtains are a must.
Leave the Home When Showing
Potential Utah County buyers often feel like
intruders when they enter a home filled with people. Rather
than giving your house the attention it deserves, they're
likely to hurry through. Leave the home if possible and let
the Realtor sell it.
Watch Your Pets
Dogs and cats are great companions, but not
when you're showing your home. Pets have a talent for
getting underfoot. So do everybody a favor: Keep Kitty
and Spot outside, or at least out of the way.
Think Volume
When it's time to show your
home, it's time to turn off stereo or TV. A little
quiet classical music in a room is okay but that's all.
Remember these selling tips when selling a home in Utah
County.
Relax
Be friendly, but don't try to force conversation.
Prospects want to view your home with a minimum of
distraction.
Keep a Low Profile
Nobody knows your home as well as you do. But
Team Teasdale Realty knows buyers - what they need and
what they want. Your Team Teasdale Realty Associate will have an
easier time articulating the virtues of your home if you
stay in the background.
Don't Turn Your Home into a
Second-Hand Store
When showing your home in Utah County, don't distract
them with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer
need. You may lose the biggest sale of all. Remember
these selling tips when selling a home in Utah County.

real estate matters, let them speak to an expert - Paul
Teasdale has sold 1,100+ homes in Utah County and he is a
