Missing grout or moldy grout? If you’re not handy, hire a handyman to replace any missing grout or grout that is less than attractive. You’d be amazed at how prospective home Buyers will knock dollars off their purchase offer for seeing visually disturbing grout areas. Don’t give them an opportunity to reduce their offer. Plus a bathroom that appears to have been well cared for will bring in a higher purchase price, as the Buyer thinks you must have been caring for your whole house.
What about your faucets?
Unless you have recently replaced your bathroom sink faucet, consider replacing it with a new fixture. A hands free one would be particularly welcome, especially in light of our nations focus on cleanliness to avoid viruses. Smart technology makes hands free brilliant and appealing to those Buyers who demand smart technology. They do tend to be a bit pricier, so if not in your budget a “hands on” faucet will work too!
Shower doors and curtains
Now is the time to remove the soap scum from your shower door or replace any worn shower curtain.
Once you bring your glass shower door up to par, invest in a squeegee to clean your doors after every shower you take thereafter. You’d be amazed at how well they work to keep your door brilliantly clean! I’ll never forget when I had invested in one of them – love it!
Overall bathroom quick fixes:
Getting your bathroom ready when selling a home
Making a bathroom pop with cleanliness and fresh color will woo a Buyer.
Paint the walls a fresh coat of paint to cover up the water marks that have been splashing and then drying on the wall.
Replace your wall mirror if it has seen better days.
Make sure you have lightbulbs in all of your light fixtures or replace fixtures if it too has seen better days.
Put out clean, fresh towels – a new, white set is even better!
Get that floor tile grout clean – try baking soda, peroxide and a toothbrush.
Get out the cleaners and scrub to your heart’s content to reveal brightness you might not have seen in a while. Sparkle and shine is the goal in your bathroom.
And last but not least, ALWAYS keep your toilet lid in the down position when trying to sell a home – most importantly when you’re having photos taken to display for the world to see.
Does your budget allow for greater remodeling in your bathroom?
If so, it would be a great time to remodel your bathroom bringing it up to a buyer’s expectations. Bathrooms are rooms in a home that do matter and do indeed sell homes, where they truly add to a home’s value when remodeling.
