How To Get Your House Ready For Sale In 30 Days: Mission Possible - Paperback

by Norah Deay (Author)

Are you tripping over carpet that's peeling away from the floor?

Are handles missing from your cupboards or drawers?

Are there iffy smells when you open your pantry?

Can you remember what color the bathroom grout used to be?

Has the wallpaper been hanging around too long?

Are you thinking about selling your house?

Are you thinking about decluttering?

Would you love to have your beautiful house back to its pristine condition?

30 DAYS is all it will take if you follow the instructions in this book. THE 30 DAYS DON'T HAVE TO BE CONSECUTIVE, OR IN ANY ORDER; that just may not be realistic.

In the Northern Hemisphere we're looking forward to Spring (at time of writing it's 2021 and we desperately need something to look forward to!), when we traditionally give our houses a good 'spring clean'. You can use this book to help with a plan for this too.

I've moved to a new house more times than I can remember, but it was while I lived in New Zealand that my organizational powers were really tested. We'd found a house we wanted to buy but had to sell ours first. A house we'd lived in for more than 10 years, and we had three weeks to get it ready to sell.

The second time was more stressful, even traumatic. My husband and I had parted, and I had to get the house ready for sale on my own.The only way I managed either time was by having a list of things to do each and every day. That list led to the birth of this book. The steps work equally well if you want to declutter and reclaim your spaces. You will begin by seeing your house as others (especially buyers) see it and you then move systematically through each room and onto the outside where I ask you to think about everything from your gutters to your garden to your heating/cooling systems. The only thing you will need in abundance is elbow grease (i.e. strenuous physical exertion).

So, block out 30 days (they don't have to be consecutive unless you're in a hurry), because you're going to be entirely focused on getting your old house ready to become a new house.
