How to Prepare Your Home for Sale

  • PAINT:  Easiest way to freshen the look and update.  Neutral colors attract more buyers.
  • LET FRESH AIR IN:  Get rid of strong odors like tobacco, pets, or food and add fresh flowers or bake cookies.
  • CLEAN EVERYTHING:  Cleanliness signals a well-cared for home vs. messy/dirty allows more focus on flaws.
  • FIX ANYTHING BROKEN:  Don’t give a buyer a reason to make a lower offer.  Fix known issues to present a well-cared for home.
  • LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN:  Make the space more inviting with open blinds or curtains and brighter light bulbs.
  • DECLUTTER BEFORE SHOWING:  Have a garage sale and clear counter tops.  The less distraction, the more a buyer can see themselves in your home.
  • REMOVE PETS FOR SHOWINGS:  Avoid allergy issues and distracting interaction with your pets.
