It’s Important to Set the Scene for the Perfect Showing.
So You Get the Highest Market Value for Your Home.
Declutter It.
Start by removing all personal items like family pictures and jewelry. Then pack up clutter: clean off counter tops, streamline closets, place extra items in storage and leave only essentials. If you can make your home feel like a hotel, that is ideal. The better the staging the faster an offer will come to you.
Select Neutral Colors.
Yes, while this seems an obvious suggestion, it makes a huge difference in getting the most for your home. If you look around and see colors other than white, taupe, or light grey, it might be time for a painting project. I would be happy to recommend a painter or of course you can do it yourself.
Make Minor Repairs.
This is a small step but it can make an inspection go more smoothly. Do small repairs like tighten loose knobs, fix leaky facets sinks, lubricate squeaky hinges, clean out clogged drains, replace AC filters, secure loose shingles, fix holes in window screens, tighten loose banisters, and remove carpet stains.
Clean It.
Cleaning is the last step in your home preparation. Once you’ve completed the staging, organizing, repairs and painting, you’ll want to make it feel fresh overall. Nothing feels better for a future buyer than a clean house. I can help you find a great home cleaner or you can do it yourself.
