Last Friday I started Key Yessad’s #8WEEKSUCCESS course at the South Carolina National Association of Realtors in Columbia, SC. This course is designed to help agents better their business by learning about how to better serve their clients. So far I have learned so much and Keys energy is contagious. Getting to know my fellow agents and supporting each other has been my favorite part. These are the great agents that are taking the course alongside me:
Before you put your home up for sale, you’ll want to ensure it’s clean for all of the buyers that will come through. A dirty house isn’t appealing, and you won’t get a good offer, if you get one at all, if your home isn’t in tip-top shape. Cleaning your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming, below we’ve listed the top things to remember to clean for each room.
FOYER:
+ Clean the door and hardware.
+ Wipe off all fingerprints on windows/furniture.
+ Clean off scuff marks on floors and door.
+ Replace all light bulbs and ensure light fixtures are working.
+ Tidy/clean up the coat closet. People WILL look in there to see the size.
KITCHEN:
+ Wipe down all cabinets.
+ Clean all appliances, inside and out.
+ Clean stove hood, on top and bottom.
+ Clean behind the refrigerator, on top and bottom too.
+ Ensure the microwave is clean of food splatter.

BATHROOM:
+ Clean behind toilet and under sink.
+ Only display absolute necessities, de-clutter.
+ Organize and clean under the vanity.
+ Scrub floors and clean grout lines.
