So many people believe that their home is show ready almost the way they currently live in it because they love it just the way it is and figure that everyone else would to. What sellers really need to do is get an honest, unbiased opinion in making sure the home is show ready and time to put on the market.
It is understandable that you live in your home and it is not always as perfect as a mesa real estate home that has never been lived in and is staged to perfection. Naturally, this is the best case scenario but it is unrealistic in a home that is currently being lived in, however, it is close to achieve a very close duplicate to a model perfect mesa real estate.
You might ask why would I want to go to a lot of trouble to prepare and fix the home I am about to move out of just for someone else? Making your home in the best possible condition and model perfect will likely help you sell your home quicker, for a higher price and get through the inspection period less painfully with less items to be asked of you to repair.
First go through your home looking for many of the items an inspector will be looking for. Check the A/C system that it is in good working order as well as the water heater and other electrical items such as pool equipment, electrical outlets, GFCI outlets and switches. Do not forget to be sure the dishwasher and stove/oven are also in good working order
Next check for water leaks, faucets, sinks – including underneath the sinks where you may not often look. Check the drip system and outside water faucets for leaks, water heater leaks and working order.
Next, clear the home of as many personal knick knacks, family photos and debris sitting out on counter tops, desks, bathroom sink areas and shelves. Keep only decorative items. Pack these things away, you are planning on moving anyway so get a head start.
Check paint, if you have bright colors, make them neutral – not white but a neutral tone, I know your kids love their rooms and you like your paint but you need it as neutral as possible, beside fresh paint helps give your home a newer smell. Make sure your home has NO pet odors that will make the potential buyers leave faster than they arrived. Clean your carpets and rid all spots and traffic areas. Clean and organize closets and cabinets because potential buyers will open them to see how much storage space is available and the neater it is the bigger it looks.
Do not forget cleaning everything from the inside out. Get rid of outside spider webs on the home, leaves and dirt on patios and landscaping. Fresh new looking doors give a great fresh impression as well as a nice flower pot near the front door. Make sure your landscaping is neat and clean, if you have bare areas, at least get some nice inexpensive rocks and a plant or two to fill the space.
Get your mesa real estate sold faster and for more money with the perfect looking and smelling home.

Many times over the years, a new subdivision is created with little or no real thought about the infrastructure required to support the newly-created community. Well, this is categorically not the case with Anthem. Everything you need is there, or on its way, and then some.
Created by Dell-Webb, this Arizona town on the outskirts of Phoenix offers mesa real estate to suit all budgets; from the mid to low $200K all the way up to “oh my goodness gracious.” There is something for everyone. From a young family just starting out to a retired couple looking for space to entertain the grand-kids, from time to time, Anthem has you covered. All of this, plus an easy commute via I-17 to mesa properties if that is where work takes you.
Also, for the family, there is the lure of brand new schools, with excellent sport facilities, libraries and, in some cases, theatre complexes to help keep your children motivated and actively involved.
Plus, the recreation facilities are world class. The park-like, open space communal area with duck-ponds and waterfalls are an absolute joy to behold. Early one evening, recently, I saw a father with his young son and daughter doing a little fishing. What better way to unwind after a long day of work, than to kick back with your children and exchange stories of your day, whilst teaching a worm to swim at the end of a fishing pole? Remember, though, “catch and release” only! Arizona living at its finest.
There is also a model railroad that runs through the park offering rides to one and all.
For the more energetic amongst us, the diversions are endless, offering basketball and tennis courts plus a gymnasium complex with 2 swimming pools that are the envy of the surrounding Arizona mesa realestate.
The huge gym is stocked with up-to-the-minute equipment, including stationary bikes, treadmills, free weights; you name it, it’s got it! Aerobic classes are offered and there is also a rock-climbing wall for those days when you don’t have enough time to conquer Everest.
Then there are the pools. An enormous regular pool for swimming and an even larger one with water slides and water features worthy of a water park anywhere in the world. Watch out for the enormous bucket in the air that fills up and then overturns and splashes down on everyone. Great fun for all kids aged from 8 to 80. Lifeguards are in attendance but please, be careful out there.
Anthem, like much of the Valley of the Sun, has golf courses that rival the finest that Scottsdale and Phoenix have to offer.
Everything is right here in Anthem including Wal-Mart, Home Depot and many other nationally renowned “Big Box” stores. There is also an outlet mall for those canny shoppers among us who like saving money. Plenty of good eating to be found from upscale local restaurants to well known fast-food stores.
In all my years of selling real estate, I have rarely seen such a well planned and executed community. Anthem AZ is truly a great place to start or raise a family. What are you waiting for?
