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.

- REMOVE PETS FOR SHOWINGS: Avoid allergy issues and distracting interaction with your pets.
