If you're just considering selling your Burgaw or Pender County property or if your home has been on the market for a period of time and you feel you're having trouble selling, then these Real Estate Selling Tips are for you.

Vickie Foster, real estate agent and broker-in-charge at Realty World Southeastern, wants to share some valuable Real Estate Selling Tips to help get you on your way to a successful sale.

• Maintaining a clean house is your first step to selling your Burgaw or Pender County home. Everything from floors to windows to skylights should be spotless. Remember to clean the oven and other major appliances. And don't forget to make bathrooms shine!
• Do everything you can to eliminate offensive odors. They're the first thing buyers notice as they walk in the door, and often a permanent turnoff.
• As you're cleaning your house, it's important to also eliminate clutter. If you can manage to clear your countertops, tables, and organize shelving, not only will your house look cleaner but you can help potential buyers visualize their own personal belongings in the home.
• Remember while you're de-cluttering to put away small kitchen appliances and other items that are sitting on countertops and tables.
• Another good tip here is to remove personal photographs from table-tops to give the home a more objective feel.
• Every potential buyer is concerned with closet space so you can be sure they'll be looking in all your closets. Be sure to get your closets clean and organized.
• A good rule of thumb in getting the interior of your home ready to sell is: If there's not a reason to leave something sitting around--remove it!
• Now on to the exterior and outside tasks that will really help in the sale of your home.
• Make your front entry inviting. Decorate it, tidy up the landscaping, paint the door or buy a new door. It's the absolute first impression of your home to potential buyers and it will really make a difference if this area is neat and welcoming.
• Get out the rake and tend to your yard or garden. Be sure to store or organize items that might make the yard look messy.
• Cleaning your gutters now is a great idea. Buyers nearly always comment if gutters are full of leaves and it makes them question other maintenance issues. Don't give them any reason to think you don't maintain your home.
