4 Tips to Get Your Home Ready for the Market

Welcome back! Sellers frequently ask me how to get their home ready for the market. There a few inexpensive things you can do to add tremendous value to your home in the eyes of a buyer.

1.    First impressions. When a buyer first drives up to your home, what will they see? Is the lawn mowed and the paint fresh? Are the toys put away? How the outside of your home looks creates the mood for the inside of the home.

2.    Declutter. We can all be guilty of letting things pile up. Maybe you have some extra furniture or knickknacks you’ve collected. Go through room-by-room and take out any unneeded items. The most important rooms are the kitchen, living room and bathroom. Then take some stuff out of that overstuffed closet!

3.    Touch ups. Replace the carpet if needed. Add a fresh coat of paint. Polish the woodwork. These are all minor things that can add a fresh look on your home.

4.    Invite a friend or us to walk through the home. Maybe there is something you overlooked.

If you have any questions on how to get your property specifically ready for the market, give me a call. I’d love to help make your home a competitor.
