Getting your home ready to sell may seem like a daunting task besides everything else that we have going on in our daily lives. Below are some tips that are helpful in making the process as easy as possible:
1. Remember, first impressions last the longest. The first thing potential home buyers see when walking up to your house are landscaping, exterior paint, the front door and the front door's hardware. So, if there is chipping paint anywhere, touch it up and make the landscaping looks presentable. A new kick plate and door hardware can do wonders to spruce up the home's first entryway. Often times if there seems to be deferred maintenance at first glance, buyers will wonder what else not been addressed or taken care of in the home.
2. Having a stager come in and evaluate your home is a good idea. They are especially good at making small spaces seem bigger and can give tips on furniture placement. Their job as a professional is to give an objective view on what potential buyers will see as positive and negative aspects of the home and how to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.
3. Make rooms look as light and bright as possible. Dark linens can make a room seem darker than it truly is. Change these out or make sure shades are drawn to show the natural light and add lighter colors in the form of a rug, window treatments or a light paint color.
4. Make sure to clean your home thoroughly. Add air fresheners if needed to make rooms fresh and pack clutter in boxes. Get a storage unit if need be. Buyers do not want to see that you are running out of space. Also, put away personal photos that are a distraction to the wonderful features of your home.
5. Remember to let potential buyers know the great things about your neighborhood. More and more home buyers are looking for homes that are close to shopping, restaurants, parks and other conveniences nearby.
