The punch list...


Well before anything really can happen the house has to be readied for sale.  We would like to get everything done around the house in order to have the house fully ready to be put on the market in late spring to early summer.  Although that is several months away it will take time to do all the little things we need to do to have the house staged properly.  So yesterday we went around the house visiting each room and wrote down on a tablet each and every item that a potential buyer might have issues with. 

"What do you think about the color in this room?" "What about those window treatments?" "Do we need to change out that light fixture?" "Should we steam clean this carpet or just replace it"  These were some of the many questions that arose as went from room to room.  The end result was a list for each room of things that had to be done and things that might be done if time and costs permit. We will attack each room one at a time and then in early spring we will address the landscaping to provide the necessary curb appeal to help sell our home. Looks like we have a plan and now all I have to do is do the work...

  1. Sounds like a great plan - good luck! I'm sure by the time you're ready to sell, you should be in pretty good shape!
