Prepare Your Home for Sale
CURB APPEAL
First impressions matter. For a home curb appeal is the first step to impressing a buyer. Be sure your bushes are pruned, flowers planted and garden weeded.
CLEAN THE OUTSIDE
The outside of your home represents the inside. If the lights are broken and the exterior maintenance is lacking. Buyers will assume the inside is the same. A new welcome mat is a great welcoming touch.
DEPERSONALIZE & DECLUTTER
Selling your home requires you to depersonalize and declutter your home. This will help buyers envision themselves living in your home. Yes, this includes closets & drawers. Cluttered closets & drawers makes your home appear to have less storage space.
ELIMINATE BAD ODORS
The moment people walk into your home any smells will either invite them in or cause them to walk out. Try to remain neutral. No heavily perfumed smells or pet smells. Usually cleaning the carpets provides the best results for removing smells from your home.
CLEAN
It is best to clean everything. From windows to mirrors. A clean home sells. Once again we want buyers to envision themselves living their everyday life in your home.
