Are You Screening Out Your Buyers?

A few Saturdays ago we decided to take advantage of the warm weather to check off a few things on the Honey Do list. We pulled the screens off the windows, sat them in the back yard and gently washed and hosed them off. While they were drying we went about washing all of the windows inside and out. 

As soon as we finished we stared in amazement. The newly cleaned windows with the blinds up and drapes pulled back brightened up our home so much we nearly needed sunglasses indoors. My wife made comments on this throughout the day and I assured her that if the time ever comes for us to sell we will need to make sure the windows are cleaned just like today.

• Remove all of the screens.
• Repair any damaged screens or holes.
• Store them in the basement, garage or shed. A buyer will want to see that you have these.
• Wash the windows until they shine.
• Pull back the drapes or remove any blinds. Make any repairs needed.
• If it is a nice day open up the windows for the fresh air.
