Preparing your home to sell can be confusing. What updates reap the highest payout? What if you don’t make any updates, how will that impact your bottom line? Your goal should be to make a positive first impression. That impression starts from the second the buyer pulls up to your home. It’s important to make any necessary repairs upfront so your house will look more attractive to potential buyers. We want your property to be a 10/10. We will help guide you through the process so you are never left guessing on what will happen next.
Basic Steps to Get Ready to Sell
Declutter and deep clean your home. Make the home feel spacious.
Remove all personal items. This will help buyers to see it’s full potential.
Rid your home of anything that can retain odors, like curtains or draperies. If you have pets or are a smoker , do not overlook this essential task. Often times, we become “blind” to these smells.
Apply a fresh coat of paint to the interior walls. This can help eliminate odors and make the home feel new.
If it’s been over a year since your carpet has been cleaned, now is the time to do it. Depending on the wear and tear of your carpet, consider replacing it.
Your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system should work and be leak-free. So should your water heater, smoke detectors, electrical panel and circuit breakers.
