First impressions are the key to selling your home, and staging
your home will result in a faster, more profitable sale. These
tips may help.
-
The exterior of your home is essential, because it's what
the buyer sees first. Remove all debris, keep the lawns and
gardens well trimmed and maintained. Good curb appeal is a
critical part of the home selling process.
-
Touch up exterior paint if necessary.
-
Make the front entrance of your home clean and attractive.
-
Make windows sparkle inside and out including your
skylights.
-
Clean gutters and point downspouts away from the foundation.
-
Clear patios and decks. Put a pot of bright flowers on your
porch.
-
Put a fresh coating on your driveway.
-
Keep all bathrooms clean and orderly. Remove any unnecessary
items from countertops, tubs and shower stalls. Use
coordinating towels to add color.
-
Clean the kitchen thoroughly, leaving very few items on the
countertops. Keep appliances clean at all times.
-
Paint interior rooms if they are dingy or tired looking.
Neutral colors are a good choice to aid in resale value.
-
Have your carpets cleaned and wood floors waxed. Clean the
grout and reseal if necessary. Have the drapes cleaned or
removed to let the light filter in.
-
Make sure all doorknobs and cabinet pulls are clean and in
working order.
-
Repair leaky faucets.
-
Rent a storage unit if you need more room to store extra
possessions.
-
Arrange where/how pets will be secured during showings.
Crates are your best option.
Taking time to get the house ready to sell is an important way
to show buyers you care about the home and its condition.
