Steps to Prepare Your Home For Sale – Kitchen
December 28th, 2009 categories: Real Estate Tips, Seller
Did you have help in your kitchen over the holidays? It’s always nice to have some extra hands in the kitchen but now, it’s time to give that stove a good cleaning.
There is nothing like trying to sell a house when the kitchen has tell tell signs of grease. Home buyers see that grease!
Take a look at the vents above your microwave at the top and see if there is a yellowish tinge. More than likely there is and the cure is to either use a Q tip or just fold a paper towels horizontally and use a good grease fighting cleanser.
Be sure to check underneath your microwave and clean those splatters as well as the filters. It’s amazing where all that grease goes especially when the fan is not turned on during cooking. Don’t forget the back-splash!
And yes, how many of you have actually taken a good look at the inside of your dishwasher? The home buyers look and if it’s YUCK, then it becomes a real turn off. Clean that scum and dirt, and rinse with a package of lemonade mix to clean and refreshen.
This year kitchen islands are a must for the home buyers. The home buyer wants a clean, bright kitchen with plenty of room to move around and good space for a kitchen table. Dark wood is still beating out the lighter wood with granite or Corian counters with clean fresh lines. Buyers prefer no grout lines on the counter for quick clean-ups.
