Selling tip " Show them so they will see it"

What do you do with a property that is seriously outdated in every regard, or in Realtor speak
"original". You've heard all the helpful selling ideas before like, bake a loaf of fresh bread, paint the front door, stage the property, de clutter and so on, good tips but none would help sell an outdated home.

No,  if you want to sell your "original" home you must help buyers see it as it could be and show them how little it would cost. This is important especially when you consider that most buyers and Realtors have no clue what it costs to remodel/update a home so they guess wrong and that normally doesn't bode well for the seller. If you want to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price, take the guess work out of the equation.

All you have to do is go to your local Home Depot or Lowes and let them know you want to find out how much it will cost to remodel your home or kitchen or bath, whatever.  They will help you every step of the way and they will do it for free. When your finished you will have color renderings and prices which you can share with buyers to show them what can be done and for how much or little. This will be a tremendous help to potential buyers and beneficial to you, by your removing the guess work they can see your home as it could be and not as it is. In sales this is called " selling the sizzle not the steak" Its works, so be sure to try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
