What can a seller do to get their home ready for sale?

A lot of people ask me how they should prepare their home for the market. I have a few main elements to keep in mind when you are getting ready to list your home. 

Curb Appeal - The first thing a seller should think about is the curb appeal of their home. What’s curb appeal? It’s how your home looks on the outside; it’s the very first impression your home makes on a potential buyer.

Mow your lawn, trim the hedges, put a fresh coat of paint on your front door. These simple things can make a huge difference.

Declutter and Clean - Once inside the home, take down all the knickknacks. Your goal is for the buyer to envision living in the home. Put away the collectibles and religious items. Make your home look spacious. Also, have the kitchen and bathrooms sparkling clean! A buyer responds so much more positively to a clean home.

Right Price - Another important part of selling your home is choosing the right price. You can either price your home to sell or price it to sit. Listen to your real estate agent; look at comparables. There is a fine line between getting the most amount of money for your home and overpricing it.

These are just a few tips on how to get your home ready for the market. If you have any other questions, or are ready to buy or sell your home, please give me a call.

Thanks for watching!
