Preparing Your Home For Sale

Your home is neat and tidy - great! But do you have excess furniture, or are your walls full of pictures?

You live in your home and you set it up the way you want it. But now you're going to be selling it, so you need to attract potential buyers. Buyers who see flaws will often calculate that into their price. They will be looking at all the rooms in terms of how to fit their own furniture and belongings. If the rooms are crowded with furniture or other items, it may make the size look a lot smaller than it is.

HOW TO STAGE YOUR HOME

Present your home in the best light!

Here are a few suggestions that will help make your home as attractive as possible to potential buyers.

Curb Appeal

  • Whatever the season, ensure that your home looks appealing as buyers driving up to your property.
  • Touch up any exterior areas that need paint.
  • Fix broken items, such as screen doors, banged in garage doors, downspouts, if possible - buyers calculate potential repairs into the price the buyer is willing to pay.
  • Declutter lawns - either put away outdoor furniture or keep it neatly ranged or out of sight.

Interior Appeal

  • Do you have excess furniture that makes the rooms look small? Consider putting it into temporary storage.
  • Do you have a lot of pictures on the walls that might leave holes when they are taken down? It's a good idea to declutter your walls and fix any flaws. A little paint might do the trick and help you get the best price possible!
  • Sometimes it's hard if you have children or messy partners, but remember that a neat home usually adds to the appeal of the home, so make sure beds are made, the kitchen is clean, toys and other items are put away.
  • Best rule of thumb - declutter, declutter, declutter!
Decluttering your home is a very important part of the home selling process.
