Dear Rebecca in Orlando Florida

I guess you are planning to sell your house. A real estate agent in Florida wants you to know that ..

Having your home on the market can be difficult..... buyers want to see it at 8am on Saturday, you have to make your bed every day, and what about Fido???  A few simple tasks can help move you from a FOR SALE sign to a SOLD sign more quickly.

Curb appeal:
Yard maintenance - mow, mulch and edge. Pull weeds. Reseal cracks in concrete areas, clean stains from the driveway and garage. Sweep the walkways and driveway. Power wash if necessary.
Interior: 
Scrub and scrub again, especially the bathrooms and the kitchen. Don't forget the light switches, handrails and doorknobs. Clean the floors. Clear away all cobwebs. And snoop inside your cabinets (buyers will).
Window treatment:
Wash the  windows - inside and out. Mend torn screens. Vacuum out window tracks. Open the blinds and pull back the curtains.
Be a handyman:
Replace burned out light bulbs. Lubricate squeaking doors. Repair drippy faucets and showerheads. Change the furnace filter.
