Smart People Do This:
If you are
planning on selling a boat, wouldn't you wash it, wax it, then sell it?
If you are planning on selling a car, wouldn't you clean it, wax it, perhaps
buy new tires?
If you are planning to sell a home please consider cleaning it,
fixing it, "showcasing" or "staging" it...
Here are some before and after shots of a condominium. This condo had been for sale for three months...in those three months, not one offer.
After professional staging, the condo sold in two weeks with two offers.
In my past fifteen years as a real estate professional, I have many times seen homes sell for more, and in less time, when they were in top condition; especially when they were professionally showcased.
"I can't believe the way this looks! Did you have it painted?", said one agent who showed the condo before and after staging.
