Why FSBO Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be
It's not uncommon for a seller's thoughts to wander toward the idea of selling their home by themself. At first glance, it seems like an expedient way to sell their home and save money in the process. However, our REALTORS® caution that the process isn't as easy as it may seem, and even the most seasoned seller can make costly mistakes that an agent would avoid.

Time is Money
Selling a home requires a significant investment of time. You need to prepare marketing materials, schedule appraisals, and prepare the house before you even list it. Once the home is on the market, you'll spend hours each day answering phone calls, responding to emails, and preparing to host an open house. It's akin to taking on a second job, which can affect job performance and the ability to connect and close the deal with prospective buyers.

Open House Prep: Don't Overlook These Rooms
As you prepare your home for an open house, our REALTORS® want to remind you that your entire property needs to be presented in the best light. Although many homeowners wisely invest in remodeling their kitchens, bathrooms and master suites, some sellers tend to forget just how important smaller rooms of their homes are. We insist that you don't overlook these rooms when planning your open house.
- Laundry Room
The laundry room is an essential room that should be prioritized during the showing. Buyers desire clean, organized spaces that make doing weekly laundry convenient. Stage this area with towels, laundry supplies and even an ironing board or clothing rack to present buyers with a space that feels accessible and functional.

Your Checklist for Spring 2019 Home Maintenance
With Spring just around the corner (and we promise it really is), you may be eyeing those cobwebs on the ceiling and the dust bunnies along the baseboards. As you tackle that Spring cleaning list, don't forget your home's maintenance list, especially if yours is a Mansfield home for sale.
Our REALTORS® suggest checking through these key areas of your property, top to bottom:
- Roof and Gutters
Spring is a good time to clean the roof and check for missing shingles, rust or cracking, and of course, any leaking. Sometimes simply hammering the wayward shingle down and applying some caulk is enough, and sometimes you might need to call a professional. If you can't get on the roof yourself, using a pair of binoculars can get you started with your inspection.
At the same time you're giving the roof some attention, look over the gutters too. Clean out any leaves or debris. Look for leaks here also, as well as any place the gutters or downspouts may have pulled away from the house. Again, the caulk gun may be all you need to shore up the problem.
