Preparing to Sell Your House? Steps to Ensure Success
1. Identify repairs and make a plan Repairs can make or break a sale. Make minor repairs such as replacing cracks in the floor, patching holes in the walls, fixing doors that don't close properly. Pay attention to the exterior of your property. Emphasize curb appeal and consider hiring a landscaper to clean up your lawn and add some flowering plants.
2. Declutter and clean Professional home stagers recommend you remove 50% of your items as it's a big advantage to make your rooms look as spacious as possible. Consider renting a storage unit or hiring a professional cleaner if necessary.
3. Depersonalize your home
4. Paint where it needs it most
Package up family photos, heirlooms, and other objects that might distract buyers. The goal when showing your house to buyers is to have them envision themselves living there and that can be difficult with your personal stamp everywhere.
Painting is one of the most common recommendations agents make to sellers before they list and for good reason--a fresh coat of paint can make a home feel brand new.
