2. Clean & Paint
Organize and clean everything, including garages, closets, storage areas, and laundry facilities. Paint the walls in neutral tones and remove family photos.

Put fresh flowers in vases, let fresh air into the house for at least ten minutes beforehand so it isn't stuffy, light a few candles (soft and subtle fragrances only), and put new, plush towels in the bathrooms
I cannot express enough of how positive of an experience my wife and I had working with August When we went to sell our house and learned that our previous realtor was no longer active, we had to go on the search to find a new trustworthy realtor that knows what is happening in the market The lovely people at Keller Williams strongly suggested August and we are so grateful that they did! The way she takes care of every detail and makes it such an easy experience to sell your home is unmatched When I first met August, I had an unrealistic price expectation Instead of laughing or being rude, she kindly asked how I came to the price in mind and then gave me examples of similar recently sold homes and gently explained what she thought a good price for my home was She was right! Our house sold so quickly that I still can't believe it We got an amount that we wanted and closed faster than expected August far exceeded our expectations 5/5 I would recommend her for any real estate transaction!
The Dalton's
August is an outstanding agent to work with She is a skilled listener, very professional and negotiator, with very in depth knowledge of the local markets She did a very in depth market analysis for my husband, and I to determine a selling price for our property She was very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had (and we had many questions ) She was always wonderful to deal with and patient Her likeability is what you want in someone representing your home to others There is an ease about the way in which she conducts herself even amidst all the stress that comes with negotiating such an important personal transaction. If you are looking for an agent to sell your house, August Maier should be your first choice Thank you
The Hosin'sMy selling experience with August was amazing to say the least She is appropriately aggressive which is exactly what I look for in a realtor I listed my townhome on Thursday and by Saturday I had already received 15 offers With the professional help of August, the process was smooth and she kept my financial goals a top priority She was quick to respond to questions, helped me to understand important documents and transactions, and provided her professional opinions when needed I would absolutely use August again in the future for my buying and selling needs and have already recommended her to others
