4 Effective TIPS to help you in preparing to List
1. Depersonalize, Declutter & Clean
One of the most important things you can do to prepare your home for listing is to depersonalize, declutter and clean it thoroughly. Depersonalizing will allow potential buyers to see themselves living in the house. While decluttering and cleaning will make your home appear more spacious and attractive to potential buyers.
2. Make Repairs
Take care of any small repairs that need to be done around the house, such as fixing leaky faucets, restaining/repairing decks & fences, repairing or replacing broken tiles and/or flooring etc. Also, be sure to have your furnace inspected and cleaned.
This will help you avoid any of these issues that might come up during a home inspection and make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
3. Improve Curb Appeal
The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, so make sure it looks its best. This may involve adding some landscaping, repairing/replacing damaged grass, power washing the exterior, or painting the front door.
4. Stage Your Home
Home staging involves arranging your furniture and decor in a way that highlights your home's best features and makes it look more appealing to buyers. You may want to consider hiring a professional stager to help with this.
