Five Things to Get Your Home Ready to Sell

  1. De clutter - all of those little stacks of stuff, laying on top of dressers and countertops, pack it away!  Sort,and toss  items that you will not be taking with you.  
  2. Make repairs - think about those little nuisance items that you live with every day, and never seem to get around to.  A door knob that needs repaired, a squeaky hinge, a towel bar that keeps falling off the wall…. Fix it all. 
  3. Landscape - landscape has a lot to do with curb appeal.  pay attention to how the Home looks and feels as you drive by or walk up to the front door.  Pull those weeds plant a few hedges.  add some plant life near the front door..  fresh or faux it won’t matter. 
  4. Staging! When in budget hire a professional:  and if that’s not in the cards, it’s OK!  here’s my general rule, remove 2/3 of your belongings. Rent a storage unit, put it in the basement or garage.  less is more and most of us have more in a room that is needed when selling.  And my pro tip is to take a picture yourself there’s  something about viewing your room through a photo that helps show what needs to go. 
  5. Clean, clean, clean.   The idea is for buyers to envision themselves in your space.  Be sure to wipe down window, ledges, dusty corners, and even those cobwebs in the basement.   Clean and fresh is the goal.  Be sure to eliminate any odors, the smell you’re going for is no smell.  Avoid those plug-ins.  If you do want something pleasant, boiling, some fresh lemons, or cinnamon will do the trick.
