How to Get Your Home Ready to Sell

Spring is just around the corner. Seize the season and get your home ready to sell with these easy, inexpensive tips:1. Curb appeal is real: This is your one chance to make a great first impression. Something as simple as replanting flowers along the walkway or power washing the exterior of your property can make a huge difference. If you aren’t sure what to do, invite a Realtor to take a look. Research shows that in the first few seconds of viewing a property, buyers form an overall opinion. Make sure it is a positive one!2. Give it a good airing out: This is particularly important if you have pets. Open the windows and turn on the fans. While you’re at it, clean and replace the heating and air conditioning filters. Even if you don’t have pets, renting a carpet cleaner will neutralize smells from having the house closed up during the winter.3. De-clutter and de-personalize your home: If you don’t know where to start, give us a call for professional staging advice at no cost. Are you really motivated to maximize your sales price?

Then pull back or eliminate window coverings to allow natural light to fill your home with a warm glow.These tips will get you on your way to a quick and profitable sale.
