Home Selling Tips
Our Professionals are your real estate partner and will help you through every step of the home selling process. Here are a few things you can do to sell your home quickly.
Curb Appeal - A homebuyer’s first impression is based on his or her view of the house from the street. They call that first impression “curb appeal.” You can enhance your curb appeal with landscaping. Even a few pots of flowers and mowed grass can make a difference. Fresh paint on the exterior of the house can make a huge difference to improve curb appeal.
De-Personalize the Home - The first step is to think like a homebuyer and walk through your house through the homebuyer’s eyes. Buying real estate is often an emotional decision and removing personal items from the home will help potential buyers see your home as their home.
Un-clutter the Home - Clutter is a distraction to the homebuyer. Removing clutter from the home is often the most dreaded step in getting your home ready to sell but it is important. Open and organized spaces make people feel calm and collected. You can invite a friend over to help you go through house to point out areas of clutter. Your agent is an excellence resource as well.
Ceilings - Check all of the ceilings for water stains. If you see stains it is important to find the source of the leak and have it properly repaired. If you have previously repaired the leak, make sure no water stains are left behind so there are no red flags to the homebuyer.
Painting - Painting the home is another cost effective way to improve the home without spending a ton of money. It makes the home look fresh and modern. You want to choose colors that appeal to the widest possible number of buyers.
Repairs - Rather than racking up debt and fully remodeling the home prior to selling you can make a noticeable improvements with basic repairs. Homebuyers will walk through the home inspecting everything. They will check the faucets, light switches and showerheads. The little stuff can make a difference. Replacing fixtures is an easy and cost effective way to improve the home.
Cleaning Carpets - If you have carpet that need to be cleaned make sure to hire a carpet cleaner prior to putting the home on the market. If the carpet is beyond repair, replacing the carpet is a good idea. Tile should be clean and chip free in order to impress the homebuyer. Creating a positive impression will allow the homebuyer to envision living in your home.
Pets - Pets are part of the family and they sometimes can’t help making messes. There are few things you can do to keep the pet from becoming a distraction. Make sure the pets are clean and the home doesn’t have a pet odor. Litter boxes should be emptied and an air freshener can be used to minimize odor.
