Follow these tips and help Dale Rosebrugh sell your home faster and for a better price:

Kitchen

• Clean all appliances inside and out until they are spotless. Clean refrigerator front of messages, pictures & magnets.
• Clear all counter tops, leaving them uncluttered.
• If it hasn`t been used for month…put it away!
• Wax and polish floors.

Bathrooms

• Remove unnecessary items from counter tops, tubs and commode. Make each bathroom look like a "guest bathroom". Sink, commode, bathtub, tile & shower curtain should look immaculate, no soap film or hair.
• Fix leaky faucets.
• Caulk and grout tiles.
• Place softer bulbs in bathroom fixtures.
• Family Room
• Clean Fireplace
• Replace carpet if it`s loud in colour.
• Remove all clutter
• Create an easy- going relaxed atmosphere in your family room. This is where most families spend their time- so make it look desirable.

Living Room

• Discard worn furniture and move extra to storage area. Too much furniture makes a room look small. Clear away all magazines, books and unnecessary objects.
• Add lamp and lighting if dark.
• Open curtains.
• Set out fresh flowers.

Master bedroom

• Define areas, sleeping, dressing & sitting- by furniture arrangements. Have room as simply furnished as possible. Be sure all cloths are hanging up, not lying out in the room.
• Make closets more appealing by storing off- season clothes elsewhere.

Basement

• If unfinished, make sure concrete floor is swept and clean.
• Seal or paint concrete floor (battleship grey).
• Clean water heater, change filters, and put strong light bulbs in fixtures.

Outside

• Mow the lawn, trim trees and shrubs.
• Put away tools, garbage cans, hoses, toys, and building materials neatly in the garage.
• Check broken roof shingles; straighten lines on gutters, shutters, windows and siding.
• Clean windows and front door. Paint if needed.
• Seal or resurface driveway.
• Clear patios or decks of planters, flower pots, etc.
• In the front yard- dress up around shrubs and lampposts with large quartz stones, railroad ties, and pine bark mulch etc.
