Getting your home ready to market

By Kristal Kraft Denver Realtor | Published: August 8, 2006

Tips from the "other side"…

When I take buyers out to look at homes, we play a game.  After looking at a couple homes, I have them choose one.  Each time we look at a home, they tell me which one is #1.  Seldom do we use the street address for an identifier.  What we end up calling each home as we go, usually has something to do with the home itself.

For instance a yellow house will become just that "the yellow one."  Sometimes a  home stands out for a negative reason.  The smelly one or the cluttered one, the cat house or worst yet the really dirty one.

IF you are a seller, the moniker you want to have should not be a negative one.  Go for something more pleasantly memorable, if you want to end up sold.
