Prepping Your Home to Sell

Here are a few simple steps you can take right now, to ensure you get every last penny from your home when it’s time to sell.

Preparation is critical. Get a head start on the decluttering and cleaning. By doing this now, you’ll save valuable time down the road.

Chances are, you’ve accumulated some stuff that you don’t use and you don’t plan to keep. Go ahead and sell, donate or toss those items now.

Part of decluttering means putting away some items that are over-personalizing your space. They’re treasured keepsakes for you. Like family photos and personal items you value, but for a buyer can be a pesky distraction. Those are best to keep in storage for now and ready to move on with you to the next home.

Cleaning will also go a long way. We don’t want buyers focusing on minor things like paint or overgrown landscaping. Now’s the time to freshen up curb appeal and do small projects around the home.

Let the light shine in by cleaning windows and replacing bulbs. Get rid of minor flaws like caulking the showers and cleaning carpets.

Get that awesome curb appeal by tidying up the lawn, touching up the front door, and adding some flowers.

We may also consider some staging within the home. Proper staging can open up space, allow buyers to envision themselves living there, and will be a neutral style to appeal to buyers.

Did you know? We include staging services for all our properties at no extra cost to you!

After that, you can sit back and relax and let us take it from there. We’ll finish up your gorgeous home with magazine-quality photography, video, virtual tours.
