5 Steps To Prepare Your Home For Sale
For me, the preparation process is the foundation of a successful sale that meets or exceeds your home’s full potential. I focus on first impressions… first impressions trigger buyer influences and the more buyers you appeal to, the greater the opportunities.
With that being said, the preparation process is another one of the many reasons I stand apart from other real estate agents. My hands-on approach and network of professionals will tackle each one of these steps for you; from getting bids, scheduling, supervising, and even payment.
#1 DE-CLUTTER
As soon as you start to think about selling, begin paring down your belongings. Don’t feel you need to do it all in one weekend! This takes time and the bigger the head start you get, the better
#2 DE-PERSONALIZE
Remove your personality so that potential buyers can visualize how their personality will look in your house. This is a general best practice for safety as well.
#3 CURB APPEAL /LANDSCAPING
Buyers begin assessing your home the moment they arrive. Make that first impression count
#4 CLEANING
Cleaning can be just as important as upgrading. Make sure to get the details that are often overlooked like windows, light switches, baseboards, vents, grout lines and Spruce up your home for a quicker sale.
#5 MAINTENANCE/ REPAIRS
Ensure that all systems and appliances are functioning correctly, as these items will be assessed during a home inspection.
