10 Features That Can Help Sell a Home

Daily Real Estate News January 31, 2007

In this tough market even small things can help a home sell faster. Denver home inspector Alan Gould lists these 10 items that home buyers often want and, therefore, are worth marketing when you sell your home.

1. Outside electrical outlets — especially those installed high up for holiday lights.
2. Permanent grill with gas service.
3. Electrical service for a future hot tub or fountain.
4. Security lights.
5. Speaker wires that are installed throughout the house, especially if a diagram is available.
6. Exterior speakers — if they stay with the home.
7. Lawn sprinkler system (note whether it has been winterized).
8. Availability of drawings and permits for substantial renovation work.
9. Storage that is both obvious and hidden, including a crawl space with lights and any oversized closets.
10. Swing-out drawers in the kitchen pantry.
