Tip 16

No gossiping allowed!

Are you in friendly terms with your neighbors?  If you’re selling a condo or a duplex, the next owners are usually curious about what kind of neighbors live in the same enclave. 

Show your neighborliness, but don’t gossip about the neighbor on your right.  Chances are prospective buyers are only interested if the neighbors are quiet or rowdy.  They’re not interested in your neighbor’s alcohol problem.

Tip 17

Help, my car’s been snowed in!

How efficient are your city’s services?  Does the area have enough firemen, snow removal trucks, and garbage collection systems?  What about facilities for recycling waste material?

 The more you know about your community’s services, the better you can capitalize on these selling points. 

If either the wife or husband has had a hip fracture, efficient snow clearing by the municipal government is reassuring.  Not many cities can say that their snow is cleared on time.

Tip 18

Cavities?

Is the city water fluoridated?  You’ll be amazed at how some parents make a big deal of this.  Studies have revealed that cities where the water has been fluoridated have a lower incidence of tooth decay among school-age children. 

Perhaps this looks like a minor detail to you, but remember, the intelligent buyer is taking a thorough inventory of the community and its services.
