How to Get Offers on Your House

Getting offers on your house depends on whether or not the buyers see "value" in comparison to other houses they are looking at. Creating "value" starts when you are getting your house ready for the market and may require you to spend some money to do so, but in the end it will be worth it. Buyers notice and appreciate wood floors in excellent condition, bathrooms devoid of loose grout in shower tiles, up-to-date kitchen appliances and counter tops, clean basements, a not too old furnace or roof(10 years or less) and of course a tidy, clean house.

Not everyone thinks alike or agrees on cleanliness of a house, so if you are not sure about yours, ask a friend to come over and walk through the house. Be open to suggestions. Even after you have spent some money to fix up your house for selling it, you may need to clean and dust to really put the finishing touches on your home to make a buyer choose it over another one. Sounds simple and it is but so many sellers do not do these simple things.
