Selling a Home in Las Vegas | One Unlikely Detail That Las Vegas Home Sellers Should Cure


Selling a Home in Las Vegas | One Detail for Las Vegas Home Sellers to Cureby Lori Ballen, Las Vegas Real Estate Agent

Although the Las Vegas Real market continues to improve, it isn't quite time for the next round of Las Vegas home sellers to reserve the moving vans. Especially true for Nevada home sellers who are on the verge of putting their home on the market, it is time to pay attention to the little details that would seem inconsequential, but which can also determine a prospective Las Vegas home buyer’s level of enthusiasm (hence, the size of their offer!). 

One of the smallest details that can go unattended is grout. Honestly. A flawlessly tiled shower or kitchen splashboard can go unnoticed if the grout looks as if has gone bad. The do-it-yourself fixes are pretty easy to handle, so before that first open house in Las Vegas is imminent, here is the way DIY experts tell us we can eliminate the issue entirely:

Use a hammer and chisel to chip away at the questionable grout. When doing this, aim the tool directly into the grout so you do not damage the tiles. This is the part where you must take your time: rushing now could mean to re-tile.

Have a vacuum handy. Once grout has been removed, use it to thoroughly clear away the debris. You’ll need a clean area before re-grouting begins.

Always wear gloves during the re-grouting. You should also use a grout float (available at any of our area hardware stores) to make sure the grout is spread and removed easily. Spread the grout into any gaps where they appear, and press it down firmly into the corners using your fingers.

Finish using a grout sealant, and be sure to give it time to cure. The momentary inconvenience will more than pay off when you see the final result. 

As The Wall Street Journal points out, “Deals can fall through at the last minute for a variety of reasons.” While crumbling grout is unlikely to actually cause a deal to fall apart at the last minute, home sellers in Las Vegas find that details like sparkling, well cared-for tiling can help land that deal in the first place!  Las Vegas home sellers — it’s time to call The Ballen Group at Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas if you’re ready to get your home sold this season!
