Preparing Your Home For Sale

Are you ready to take the dive and list your home?? School is almost out, and it is a GREAT time to put your home on the market! Here are some great tips to make sure your home is SOLD in the blink of an eye!

1. DEEP CLEAN!- Making sure the home is deep cleaned keeps the buyer's focus on the home and not mess. Hire a professional cleaner or DIY. Make sure to hit these main points- walls and baseboards, ceiling fans, cabinets (inside and out), light fixtures, doors.

2. ORGANIZE!- Clean out and organize closets and cabinets. Declutter each room and pack up the non-essentials.

3. FRESHEN UP THE SPACE!- Touch up any interior paint and swap out pictures to remove some of the personal touches. This helps the Buyer's see themselves in your home.

4. LIGHTING!- Lighting is a huge element in design and can change the environment and feel of your home a lot! Make sure all your lamps and shades are dusted/wiped down. Change out light bulbs for a more cozy lighting. Wash curtains and blinds.

5. HEART OF THE HOME!- Many say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and for a good reason! It is the natural gathering spot for many families. Wipe down all appliances. Deep clean the whole kitchen and hard to reach spots. Declutter your fridge and spice racks.

6. CURB APPEAL!- Time to tidy up the yard. Make sure the yard is mowed before showings and open houses. Trim up any bushes. Weed flower beds and maybe plant flowers or add flower pots. Sweep off any porches, patio or deck. Clean out the gutters. If it's the winter time, make sure the drive way and sidewalks are shoveled and salted.
