Are you getting your home ready to hit the market? If so, here are a few tips as you prepare!
Clean
You’ll want to clean your home so buyers can look past any small things like dirt or dust and see the true potential of your home.
Declutter
Decluttering is your next step. Take a look at each room and remove any half of the items and décor you have sitting out or on display. Keep some of your nicest décor items in the room to stage your home. Also, remove any personal photos from display or on the walls. This allows the buyers to begin visualizing how they might decorate their space and see their family living in it.
Downsize Your Furniture
Last, move out any furniture beyond your very basic furnishings and take the décor that was in place with it. You are selling your home and will be packing soon anyway, so get a jump start and your home offers will jump in value once buyers see how open the space in your home feels. Plan on storing these items in your garage, shed, or rent a short-term storage unit.
Experience the Benefits
By following these steps you will be making your home more appealing and valuable to the buyers viewing it. These steps will pay off in spades with a shorter time on market and with offers at a higher price point. And as an added bonus, your home will be easier to maintain for all the showings you’re about to get!
