For A Quick Sale (NAPSA)—Here’s some advice on making your homeattractive to potential buyers, from the experts at Pillar to Post Inc., a leading homeinspection company. Get routine service done on heating and cooling systems. Presale service will prevent big sur- prises uncovered by the buyer’s homeinspection. inviting to a buyer can make a big difference. Wash windows. In addition to improving the home’s appearance, washing may uncover broken seals in thermal pane windows, which sellers may choose to repair prior to showing the home. Have a home inspection performed. Current knowledge of a home’s condition helps when pricing the house and negotiating with buyers. Sellers can repair damages pre-sale, and can save money on repairs—for instance, replacing damaged sections of the roof rather than re-roofing the entire house. Repair windows and doors that don’t operate correctly. Windows stuck closed may simply be painted shut, or a symptom of the foundation settling. Have a garage sale or donate to a thrift store to clear out excess “stuff.” The home will seem larger and more attractive, and offer improvedaccessibility to the home inspector.
