7 Home-selling Tips to Ignore
Doesn't it seem like everyone you know becomes a real estate expert when they hear that you're trying to sell your home? While friends, family, and colleagues have good intentions when offering real estate advice, they're often relying on outdated info or common misconceptions about the real estate industry. It's so much easier to sell a home when you tune out the noise, ignore advice that doesn't work, and focus on tips from pros with their finger on the pulse of the industry. Our REALTORS® are here to help, with seven home-selling tips you should ignore.

  1. "Spring is the only time to sell your home."
    Yes, real estate shoppers often hit the market in force during the spring months, but that hardly means that spring is the only time to sell. When you list during the busiest months, you also have to deal with increased competition. Selling your home during the winter or other "slower" months can be a great option because there are still people looking for homes and you'll have less competition for their attention.

Sell Your Vacant Home

You've already made the move to your new home, but your old one hasn't sold yet. That leaves you with the task of selling a vacant home. So what do you need to know about putting that home on the market? Perhaps the most important thing to know is that selling a vacant home can be a lot more challenging than attracting buyers for an occupied one. However, there are steps you can take to help ensure that your home holds its own among the other Mansfield homes for sale. Our REALTORS® have a lot of experience helping homeowners get vacant homes sold, and here are 6 tips that can help:

  1. Keep it sparkling clean – Making a vacant home appealing to buyers means keeping it clean and inviting. A deep cleaning, from top to bottom is the way to go. Once that is done, you'll need to see to it that it stays spotless until it sells, which means cleaning it regularly. Dust will collect, air will get stale, and dirt will get tracked in every time the home is shown to a potential buyer, so it will need a once-over at least once a month to make it shine. If distance prevents you from taking care of it, hire a cleaning service to do it for you.

Spring 2019 Spring Home Maintenance List
With Spring just around the corner (and we promise it really is), you may be eyeing those cobwebs on the ceiling and the dust bunnies along the baseboards. As you tackle that Spring cleaning list, don't forget your home's maintenance list, especially if yours is a Mansfield home for sale.

Our REALTORS® suggest checking through these key areas of your property, top to bottom:

  • Roof and Gutters
    Spring is a good time to clean the roof and check for missing shingles,  rust or cracking, and of course, any leaking. Sometimes simply hammering the wayward shingle down and applying some caulk is enough, and sometimes you might need to call a professional. If you can't get on the roof yourself, using a pair of binoculars can get you started with your inspection. 

    At the same time you're giving the roof some attention, look over the gutters too. Clean out any leaves or debris. Look for leaks here also, as well as any place the gutters or downspouts may have pulled away from the house. Again, the caulk gun may be all you need to shore up the problem.
