Preparing Your Home for Sale - Bathrooms
By marionduffy | April 29, 2008
Not only do buyers consider the number of bathrooms in a home, they also consider the condition of the bathrooms. To make yours show well:
- Clean bathrooms from top to bottom. They must be sparkling clean.
- Remove stains from sinks, tubs, and toilets.
- Polish faucets and repair any that are dripping or leaking.
- Unclog slow drains and make sure the sink pop-ups work properly.
- Repair and/or replace damaged or stained caulking.
- Remove water sports from shower doors and tub enclosures.
- All light bulbs should be the same wattage.
- Clear off the counter. Only one or two items should be on the counter, such as a plant and nice soap dispenser.
- Hang up fresh towels. If necessary, purchase new towels for showing the house.
- Pull back the shower curtain to expose the tub. It makes the bathroom look bigger.
- And please, put the toilet lid down!!!
