Inspect Your Walls Before You Sell

September 6, 2014

wallSay you’re trying to sell a used car. Imagine that it’s a desirable make and model. The mileage is low. Overall, it’s in great condition… except, that is, for the body. Unfortunately, there are a few areas where the paint is scratched and there are a couple of dents and rust spots, too.

Are you going to have trouble selling that car? Probably. That’s because potential buyers will have trouble seeing past the condition of the body and appreciating the true value of the vehicle.

The same thing can happen when you’re trying to sell your home.

Everything about it could be wonderful, but if the paint on the walls is faded in spots, and there are dents, scruffs and holes, buyers may notice those things more than the other more important features of your property.

So it’s a good idea to inspect your walls to make sure they look great.

There are numerous products available at your local home improvement centre for repairing gouges and holes. It’s a relatively easy do-it-yourself job.

Keep in mind that applying a new coat of paint not only makes the walls look like new, but also tends to brighten up the entire room.

As a first time home buyer I was so happy to work with Fiona.
I was searching for a place for a year and she never pressured me, and throughout was patient and exceptionally professional.
She assured me that the right property would pop up, I continued to look at all the listings she would send me thru her client focused newsletter. Finally I found a place and although the price was higher than I was hoping she fought and went way out of her way to fit it in my budget.

I can't say enough wonderful things about her, I personally have friends that are realtors but Fiona by far out shines them in her knowledge of the market, her wonderful pleasant character and her genuine work ethics

Thank you for making it all happen for me!!!!
