Answer: Doing whatever you can to put your house's best face forward is very important if you want to get close to your asking price or sell as quickly as possible. Short of spending a lot of money, here are several ideas for making your home show better: * Sweep the sidewalk, mow the lawn, prune the bushes, weed the garden and clean debris from the yard. * Clean the windows (both inside and out) and make sure the paint is not chipped or flaking. And speaking of paint, if your home was built before 1978, new federal law gives a buyer the right to request a lead inspection. If you think you might have some problems, do the inspection yourself beforehand and make any fixes you can. * Be sure that the doorbell works. * Clean and spruce up all rooms, furnishings, floors, walls and ceilings. It's especially important that the bathroom and kitchen are spotless. * Organize closets. * Make sure the basic appliances and fixtures work. Get rid of leaky faucets and frayed cords. * Make sure the house smells good: from an apple pie, cookies baking or spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove. Hide the kitty litter. * Put vases of fresh flowers throughout the house. * Having pleasant background music playing in the background also will help set your stage. c 2000 Inman News Features All Rights Reserved -- ©2005 Century 21 Real Estate LLC.

CYPRUS in BRIEF History The strategic position of the country, at the crossroads of three continents has probably been the main reason for its turbulent history throughout the ages. Many different races, the main ones being the Egyptians, Romans, Byzantines, Francs, Venetians, Turks and British, have occupied the island. Although each one of these conquerors left their mark on the island, the Greek identity has been preserved throughout the ages. In 1960, it gained independence under the London-Zurich agreement. But freedom was short-lived. In 1974, after an abortive coup d'etat, Turkey invaded and occupied 38% of the island's territory in the north. Although, the problem has not yet been resolved, political and economic stability were fully restored soon after the invasion. Geography Considered a European country, it is situated in the eastern region of the Mediterranean at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. The island's total area is 9251 square kilometres while the island time zone is exactly 2 hours ahead of London and 7 hours behind Tokyo. The landscape is one of infinite contrasts, from its fertile central plain to the cool, vine clad foothills; the majesty of the cedar valley in which wild indigenous moufflon roam; mile after mile of sandy shores with secluded beaches to seek out, and hundreds of villages to explore, each with its own tradition and charm. Climate This beautiful country enjoys perhaps the best type of Mediterranean climate with about 340 warm and sunny days. Summer is the season of constant sunshine and cloudless skies. Winters are mild with some rain, and snowfall on Troodos Mountains. Maximum mean temperatures range from 14C or 57F in January to 37C or 99F in July and August. Standard and Cost of living Cyprus enjoys a fairly high European standard of living, while at the same time remains a relatively inexpensive country. According to a survey conducted by the Union Bank of Switzerland it is ranked as the 10th least expensive business centre in the world and the least expensive in the whole of Europe. Real Estate a non Cypriot is allowed to buy in Cyprus A non-Cypriot is allowed to buy a flat, house or a plot of land not exceeding two donums, 2676 square metres. However, in case there is a special reason and you need more than the law states, permission may be granted. Freehold All the properties for sale in Cyprus are freehold. Currency The currency is the Pound, which is sub-divided into 100 cents. As from June 1992, the exchange rate of the currency has been pegged to the ECU. The margin within which the currency is allowed to fluctuate has been fixed at 2.25% above or below the central value, 1.7068 ECU.
