When selling your home, make sure you provide added information which can give potential buyers a better impression of your property. Attach printed cards to items or put in rooms, that add extra information that buyers may miss or don’t know. An example would be, adding a card near a dining room chandelier giving specific information about it, such as manufacturer, designer and age. Your realtor can help you choose when and where to place information cards.
