Staging Your Home To Sell!
CURB APPEAL is so important. Cut the lawn, shovel the snow, trim the bushes, and plant some flowers. Make sure home maintenance is not deferred.
DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER! This tip alone will help you sell your home for top dollar. Rent a moving pod or storage unit to store things for your move. Clear out closets and storage areas. Leave only the essentials.
CLEAN Like you never have before. A clean, tidy home that doesn’t have the latest upgrades often shows better than an upgraded home that is a dirty.
TALK WITH A REALTOR before doing any remodeling or updating . They will know what the market is doing and what brings you the most value.
DEPERSONALIZE. Take down any family pictures or personalized items/decor. It's possible that your online listing pictures will be seen by possibly 10’s of thousands of people.
PLAN FOR PETS. Have a plan for kenneling or taking your dog with you for showings. If you have cats make sure your listing agent notifies potential showing agents so they don’t accidentally let them out.
REPAIR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS IT. If you have a leaky faucet, fix it. These things will come up in an inspection.
