I am selling my house and I cannot tell you enough about how important it is to set up your house correctly. My wife and I even rented a storage unit to get all the clutter and unnecessary furniture out of the house. After that, it was all about cleaning the house, rearranging the furniture, and fixing all the little problems that have arisen over the years. We bought this house in 1999 and although we maintained it very well, in certain areas it shows age.

Today our realtor pointed out a few more items, including the stair area, which is made of wood. It’s easy to spot all the little scratches that wood had to accept over the years of not always paying enough attention from our side when transporting things. Our real estate agent also pointed out a solution: Howard Restore A Finish

I went to Home Depot and had a bottle of Restore A Finish and then started. I chose a less visible spot first, but then quickly went upstairs to work on the entire wooden section of our stairs. This works very well. The scratches are gone and the railing and ladder look great. One hour of work probably removed 5-10 years of visible age from the wood.

There’s a reason having a good real estate agent pays off, even though they charge a lot for their service. If you want to sell your house in this market you need whatever advantage you can get. A good real estate agent will review your home and point out problems for you so you can address them. Then you have to get down to business and fix those issues. Potential buyers will be impressed with a home in good repair. A home is an investment and possibly the single biggest purchase expense that people will ever make in their entire lives. How often do you happen to spend $ 250,000 or more on a single item? And now imagine how a single bottle of wood finisher like Howard Restor A Finish can make or break a deal. Imagine aged wood in your home. The wood may have seen 20 years or more of “wear and tear” and now imagine how you can take 10 years of use off the same wood. Potential buyers don’t expect a new home, but they will be very surprised if your home appears less old. A little detail work can bring you the deal you’re waiting for and Howard Restor, a Finish Wood Finisher, is one of those little investments that can make that happen.
