Moving Day

For Your Clients – Tips for Moving Day

By Paige Tepping

RISMEDIA, June 7, 2010–With the summer selling season in full swing, millions of Americans are finalizing real estate deals and preparing for moving day. If moving day has you feeling stressed, the following tips from the experts at GoMovers.com will help you prepare for a seamless transition.

-Complete as much packing of the items you’re packing yourself by the day before your moving day. Take care of any last minute items early in the morning on moving day. Doing so serves a dual purpose: Only the items the packers are handling will be left, which will help them concentrate only on what they’re going to pack, and your mover won’t need to wait around while you finish your portion of the packing job.

-Before the movers arrive to pack and load, remove any obstacles so they’ll have a clear path from the door to the truck. Also, check hallways and stairways and eliminate any items that are in the way. If you’ll need to remove a stair railing or other ‘impediment’ to get larger items out of the house (your estimator should have alerted you to this), do so before the movers arrive.

-Take a walk through the house and check closets and utility areas to make sure you haven’t forgotten to pack anything that is coming with you to your new homes. Make sure the boxes you packed are clearly labeled and their room location at your destination is clearly marked on the box. Make sure all of your boxes are taped closed so nothing gets lost during transit.

-Move your cars as needed to make room in the driveway so the movers have a clear line between the house and the truck.

-Make accommodations for your pets. You might consider boarding or caging them on moving day or having them stay with a neighbor or relative during the actual move. You might be able to better accommodate them by taking them to your destination in advance. You’ll want to do what’s appropriate in order to keep them out of the way of the movers and help reduce their stress levels and anxiety.

-Plan to be around to keep a watchful eye on both the packers and the movers while they’re packing and loading your possessions. That way, you’ll also be readily available to answer any questions they might have. It doesn’t hurt to build rapport with your movers and packers either, as they’re more likely to do a good job if they like you.

Tips on How to Fix Your House Up to Sell

By Paige Tepping

RISMEDIA, May 27, 2010–With the summer buying and selling season just around the corner, now is the time to think about how you can create a lasting first impression with potential buyers. Here are 8 simple tips that will help your home stand out from the crowd.

Open the drapes and blinds. Sunshine is the world’s best decorator and nothing is more depressing than walking into a home where shades, curtains and drapes are closed.

Wash the windows – inside and out. For the same reasons as above, no other small improvement will give you more bang than this.

Clean up the yard. Cut back overgrown shrubs, particularly those that obscure windows or make it difficult to get to the front door. Mow the grass, rake or pick up downed leaves and branches, put away lawn tools, kids’ toys and discard or store any outdoor furniture that is rusty or ragged. If season and funds permit, put down some colorful annuals or put a few nicely planted containers on or near the front porch.

Clutter Control. De-cluttering and organizing your home is very important and not just to make the place look neat. A cluttered home looks smaller and less airy. All of the pictures, knick-knacks, even an exquisite art collection are distracting to many buyers.

Clean your kitchen and bathrooms – Be sure to pay attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen may be old but it can still sparkle. Clean the stovetop with a good degreaser and all countertops to remove stains and discoloration. Wash the front of all cupboards and appliances and keep the floor swept and scrubbed for as long as the home is on the market. De-clutter here too, especially the refrigerator door. Ditch countertop appliances, canisters, etc and keep cupboard doors and drawers closed if your hand is not actually in them. It is critical that the bathrooms sparkle. Old bathrooms can be charming and a new shower curtain or fresh flowers on the counter may be all you need. Put out your best towels and, if you have young children, enforce the flush rule.

Refinish hardwood floors. These are a major selling point when selling your home and sometimes a home’s most compelling feature. Often they don’t need complete refinishing, just to be roughed up and polyurethaned to obtain that killer shine.

Paint/Repaint Your Home. If your taste in decorating is a bit strong, it may pay to hire a professional to tone down some of the more dramatic color rooms. Neutral colors are best for marketing your home for sale.

Buy, borrow or rent what you need. If your furniture shows the effect of raising five kids or if pets have ruined the rugs and upholstery, think about storing or getting rid of your existing furniture and finding just enough more attractive stuff to get by. If your nest is empty and the kids’ rooms are beaten up, throw out the furniture, give the walls a quick wash coat of paint and put one or two small flea market pieces – a hobby horse, a bean-bag chair, the old bassinette from the attic – in the room to merely suggest its use.
