Top Tips for getting Top Dollar for your home with


Ruth Armstrong a Multi sales award winner and a top realtor with RE/MAX Real Estate Centre


A well-organized home is a


well taken care for home; and make no mistake in this market buyers notice Every Single Thing because every single dol- lar counts. So, while we are or- ganizing let’s save some money!


Kitchen $$: IT is estimated that every day each Canadian gener- ates around 2.7 kilograms of garbage, here are some ways to reduce the waste and the spend.


Reduce Energy Costs: A tap that drips six drops a minute will waste 1600 litres annually that’s equivalent to seven bathtubs! • Do a home energy audit. (Buy- ers love those)! • Opt for ENERGY STAR appli- ances. (High light this on your listing). • Switch to energy efficient LED light bulbs. • Wash clothes using cold water. • Use a programmable thermo- stat. (Highlight your nest on your listing) • Run dishwashers, washers and dryers at low-cost times. • Seal air leaks in windows doors and attic ceilings.


• Fix Faucet and showerhead drips and leaks, maybe upgrade those faucets before you list. They have a great impact and a good return on your outlay. • Unplug all electric appliances when not in use.


**Remember There is no second chance to make a “FIRST” im- pression. A pop of colour with a nice


bright plant or flowers is always a winner as are some bright cushions. If you have animals or are a smoker, Febreeze is just a mask and “IS NOT” a fix. Peo- ple often wonder what you’re hiding. Sometimes its better to invest in a fresh coat of paint, even just doing the entrance area makes a huge difference. There are now affordable paints that eliminate smoke and odours.
