3 Tips for Getting Your Home Ready for Showings

Bear in mind the importance of buyers’ first impression.  Usually, paying attention to these following three tips for getting your home ready for showings, will assist your home in selling for more money and quicker!Check your Curb Appeal/ExteriorThe first impression a buyer gathers of a house is the exterior and property’s “curb appeal.”  Depending upon the season, be certain the leaves are racked, yard is freshly cut, or driveway shoveled.  There’s nothing pleasant to buyers who must stroll through 2’ of snow to reach the front door!  If it isn’t winter, be certain the toys and yard tools are picked up.  Besides the toys and tools, if you have any pets, pick up after them, as well.Check for any ClutterAmongst the most visible things to a potential buyer is clutter.  A few areas which oftentimes gather clutter which must be checked include entry ways, stairs, and closets.  Be certain your stairs are clear and all coats, shoes, mail, and hats are placed out of sight.Check your KitchenTake a look at your kitchen. Are your counter tops clear?  Ensure that those quartz or granite counter tops aren’t just free and clear yet additionally “clean enough to eat on.”  Is your refrigerator door clear?  A few buyers have a difficult time seeing past “personal” possessions.  It is good to show off your kid’s “A+” on their math test; however, not when your house is on the market.  The outside of a refrigerator should virtually have nothing on it.  Is your kitchen flooring clean?  Ensuring that it’s clean is also extremely important.  A possible buyer isn’t going to be impressed as they “stick to the floor” while stepping onto a spot in which something was spilled earlier that day.
