10 Ways to Help Your Montana Property Sell

  1. GET RID OF CLUTTER. Take out stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack most of your small decorative and personal items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets appear roomier. Clean out the garage.
  2. WASH WINDOWS AND SCREENS. This will let in more light and allow clear views.
  3. KEEP EVERYTHING EXTRA CLEAN. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.
  4. GET RID OF ODORS. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows.
  5. USE HIGHER WATTAGE BULBS to make rooms brighter, especially basements and dark spaces. Replace burnt-out bulbs.
  6. MAKE MINOR REPAIRS that can create a bad impression. Small problems such as sticky, squeaky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet seem trivial, but they give buyers the impression that the home isn't well maintained.
  7. TIDY YOUR YARD. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway.
  8. PATCH HOLES in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
  9. CLEAN RAIN GUTTERS.
  10. POLISH your front doorknob and house numbers.
