Tip #16 Testing the Home for Baby Compatibility

Are families with babies and/or young children a part of your potential market? If they are, then you need to ask yourself if you would put your own child on your floor and let him or her crawl about.

In the case of having your house pass the baby test, go for cleanliness first. Make the following efforts for approval from the perspective of a judgmental parent:

• Floors looking clean enough to eat off of,

• Carpets looking and smelling fresh,

• Walls free of grimy smudges and handprints

 Clean, Clean, Clean

When people look to buy a home, they’re being extremely picky and observant about every little thing. That being said, you don’t want to lose a sale just because you have a cobweb in a basement window.

Therefore, it’s a good idea to go over your home with a “white glove” to ensure that it is spic and span. Pay special attention to elements such as:

• Dust

• Cobwebs

• Trash

• Grunge
