What are the five things to do when preparing your home for sale? We Want To Set You Up For Selling Success. Watch this series videos to find out how to have selling success.
Clutter. Organize the things you want to keep, get rid of the stuff you don’t, and toss out the junk. I always tell sellers to pack up anything they won’t be needing for the next couple of months. You can consider this a headstart in packing.
Clean. Make sure your home is sparkling clean from top to bottom. This means pressure wash the exterior, scrub those baseboards, shine those faucets. You may even want to consider hiring a cleaning service that can give you a helping hand.
Check for smells. It may seem silly, but it’s true: Many buyers will walk away from a home because of the smell. Get rid of those old dirty rugs and replace or clean your carpets. Have your upholstery cleaned, and give your dog a bath.
Fix anything that needs to be repaired. If it should be functioning and it’s not, get it fixed so that it’s functioning properly. Repair all wood rot and repair any leaks. If you have to ask, “Should I fix this,” the answer is almost always yes. More about this in a later series.
Staging. We’re gonna talk about this as well later, but 77% of buyers’ agents say staging made it easier for the buyer to visualize the home as their own. The top rooms to stage, in order, to attract more buyers are the living room, the master bedroom, the kitchen, the dining room. If your home needs a little pick-me-up, we can provide staging at no cost to the seller to make sure your home looks its best.
If you’re thinking about selling, I’d be happy to stop by and walk through your home and let you know what needs to be done before you sell. We want to set you up for selling success.
