Here are a few tips from the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors:

  • Check with Realtor for contacts for storage facilities and movers.
  • Store all toys.
  • Clean Carpets, drapes and, if necessary, furniture.
  • Keep yard neatly trimmed.  See what your home looks like from the street and fix anything obvious.
  • Clear off back deck to make it look bigger.  Use place settings on tables.
  • Add color to front of home via flowers, hanging baskets or a quick coat of fresh paint to shutters.

AN EXPLANATION OF SOME OF THE COSTS YOU MAY INCUR WHEN YOU SELL YOUR HOME

Paying off the existing first mortgage... The interest costs on your mortgage are adjusted from the date of your last payrnent to the date of closing. Also, check with your mortgage holder to determine if there is a prepayment penalty for prepaying your mortgage (there are no prepayment penalties on either VA or FHA mortgages.)

Other financing oustanding on your property... Home improvement loans, second mortgages, contracts for deed, mechanic's liens, tax liens or judgments...all of these may need to be paid at the time of closing.

Contract for deed discounts... If you sell your home and part of the buyer's payment to you is in the form of a contract for deed, the contract can be sold by you to third parties, but only at a discount (less than the face value). This rate fluctuates with the money market.
