Top 5 Things to Prepare Your Home for Sale

What are the best five things to do when preparing to sell your home? De-clutter! Streamline your belongings! Get rid of STUFF and toss out old junk! I always tell buyers to pack up anything they won’t be needing for the next couple of months. 1. Clean! Make sure your home is sparkling clean from top to bottom. Considering hiring help if you need a hand! 2. Check for smells. It may seem silly but it’s true that many buyers will walk away from a home because of the smell. Get rid of those old dirty rugs, and replace or clean your carpets. Have your upholstery cleaned. Give fido a bath! 3. Fix anything that needs repair. If you’re unsure about the condition of your home, have a home inspection prior to listing. It could save you thousands of dollars in the long run! 4. Consider having your home staged. If your home needs a little pick-me-up, we can lend you some furniture and accessories. But if your whole home is in need of staging, we’ll set you up with an expert stager who can make your home looks it’s best. 5.
