The graduations are just
finishing up, most summer getaway are booked, and with the end of June soon to
be coming our way, many homeowners may be thinking more about holiday weekends
and BBQs than home maintenance. But for those selling a home in North Jersey this summer, keeping ahead of upkeep issues
will become an important part of the project. Some items that bear watching:
The best time to clean air
conditioners is before you fire them up for the first time…but since the AC
always seem to be needed sooner than expected, few of us do. Never mind: sooner
is better than later — and if you're selling your home in North Jersey this
summer, you'll want to keep the home comfortable at all times for potential
buyers. Your owner's manual should explain how to change filters and clean
coils and fins.
Everyone knows how important clearing clutter is
for selling your home, but don't forget to stash the winter's heating
paraphernalia. While you’re storing any portable heaters, pull the filters from
the central furnace and pick up replacements next time you’re at the hardware
store. When potential buyers see the new replacements neatly placed where
they’ll be handy come winter, they are likely to register that this is one property
owner who is well ahead of maintenance issues.
Cleaning the windows
and window coverings is a chore none of us looks forward to. But when you're
selling your home in North Jersey this summer,
few touches pay off like windows that shine, shine, shine! Choose one of our
sunny days and see if you can get someone to work with you — and if you can
spare an extra hour or so, hose off the screens and lay them out in the sun to
dry.
Selling your home is less taxing
when you put yourself a step ahead on maintenance. Then call a hard-working
agent like me to put the rest of a well thought-out marketing plan into action.
I’ll be working all summer to help bring you top dollar for your home.
