First impressions when your house comes on the market are critical. Getting your home ready for sale is an important step. This is the time to make sure that while your home is still very livable and inviting. Try to de-clutter as much as possible as it will make your house appear larger and more spacious. It is also easier for someone to envision themselves and their own furnishings in the space if there are not too many distractions to the eye. Now is the time to address any minor repairs you may have neglected. Take a walk around your house, looking through the eyes of a buyer, and see what you can do to make the house more appealing. Be sure you give the nooks and crannies a good once over in your cleaning efforts. Your Real Estate Professional will give you more information on curb appeal, little tips that help sell a house and also offer home staging advice.
A major selling benefit for you when you work with LINKS, is our LINKS Home Shield- a FREE Home Warranty on your current home. This warranty protects your house while you have it listed with us, and is also a valuable incentive as this protection passes on to the new buyer after closing.
In addition, LINKS offers a pre-inspection service. We’ll bring in a licensed professional to help identify any areas in need of repair, or items that need to be serviced. While this is not the in-depth inspection that the buyer’s engineer will conduct after an accepted offer, it can help improve the appearance and head off any small maintenance problems before they become larger ones. 
As an example, an inspector may find a leaky pipe, a fuse that needs replacement, or recommend a ceiling or sidewalk repair. Most items will be covered by the LINKS Home Shield, saving you thousands off the costs of repairs that could be detrimental to the sale of your home.
Some other agencies do not perform pre-inspection based on the premise that it will reveal items that will then have to be disclosed to potential buyers. This is the exact reason that LINKS does offer this service. The pre-inspection gives potential buyers peace of mind that you, as a home seller, are up-front and they can be comforted that they know more information about the home. Also, any items will eventually be discovered anyway by potential buyers when they have their own inspection performed. If problematic items are found by the buyer's inspector, the buyer may use this as a bargaining ploy to re-negotiate their accepted offer by thousands of dollars, which can also result in the loss of a deal all together. Our pre-inspection eliminates this possibilty,we find the problem and get it fixed for you, getting you top dollar for your home.
Be sure to tell your Real Estate Professional what you feel are the strong selling points and features that you enjoy in your home. We will take professional photos to highlight your home’s best features and will write a property description that distinguishes your home, emphasizing its assets. This is a good time for you to gather and organize paperwork that will be needed such as the deed, survey, and other legal documents relating to the home ownership.
