There are always a few good hard and fast rules when planning on selling your home.\u00a0Today\u2019s infographic gives you a short list of some of the top to-do\u2019s when putting your property on the market.<\/p>\n

And here are some of the DON\u2019TS:<\/p>\n

Ignore your lawn and exterior facade.<\/strong> It\u2019s all an extension of the house. If your home looks unkempt from the outside, potential buyers could be turned off\u2014even if your home is immaculate on the inside.<\/p>\n

Think your home smells “just fine”<\/strong>. Every home has its own smell\u2014one that you may be immune to. Always employ a tactic such as boiling cinnamon on the stove, or baking cookies to add a sweet scent to the air.<\/p>\n

Leave your unfinished projects in plain view<\/strong>. Unless the property is being positioned as a fixer-upper, projects, loose wires or visible piping could cost you a sale.<\/p>\n

Forget the mess.<\/strong> Dirty dishes, unmade beds, and piles of laundry make a big difference in perception. Don\u2019t forget, you\u2019re not only selling your home, you\u2019re trying to sell people a dream.<\/p>\n
