THE VALUE OF A CLEAN HOME

Perception of clean is different for all of us.  When sellling your home, it should be detailed just as it is when you buy a used car.  You would not appreciate buying a car or a home and needing to have it cleaned prior to driving or moving in.  Clean equals dollars. 

How do we determine what is clean?

  • Smells fresh
  • Carpets are clean and free of stains
  • Applicances are spotless
  • Floors and counters are clean
  • Yard is manicured
  • Should look professionaly detailed
  • Cupboards look new and are clean inside and out
  • Windows are freshly cleaned
  • Blinds and window covering are dust free
  • Window sills are dust free and cleaned and show no stains
  • Toilets are impeccable
  • Caulking around tub and fixtures is clean but may need to be replaced
  • Clean hardwater stains from shower doors, mirrors, and fixtures
  • Firplace doors should be see-through and newly cleaned
  • Light bulbs, lights, and fans, all should be working and dust and cob web free
  • Light switch covers are dirt free
  • Entrance or first impression is the most imporant.  Possibly a new welcome mat, front door freshly painted, colorful plant, etc.

How does this affect the sale of your home?

It may add some value but certainly the appeal of a clean home will place your’s at the top of the competion.  Best of all, a buyer is willing to pay for a cleaner home.
