Preparing Your Home For Sale in Palm Beach County- Part 1
Season is almost here and inventory appears to be down. You may be thinking that now is the 
time to place your home on the market. Several years ago I wrote a series of posts on How to Prepare Your Home for Sale. The market was down, and the competition was high if you were selling your house.
However even though things have improved, there are still some sound basics to follow when you’re getting ready to sell your house.
Before you place the “For Sale” sign in the front yard, you need to make it “show ready.” And, that’s exactly what selling your house is….. putting on a show every time it’s viewed.
This is a series of 7 Tips for Preparing Your House for Sale!
Step 1: Replace the word “home” for house! Start to think of your house as a product that you are selling. You’re going to have to take those wonderful images of family dinners and the children playing in the yard with you to your new home.
Think of when you go to the market for your weekly shopping. When you look at the shelves, where do your eyes fall?
Companies spend a lot of time, thought and money into making their product appeal to the general consumer.
And, that’s exactly what you want to do with your house/product…… prepare it so that it will appeal to as many consumers as there are in your market for your house.
~Try not to let family members or friends sway you when they tell you how much they love your chartreuse wall.
~ Don’t let the pencil marks on the door jam that show the growth of your wee ones prevent you from painting over it.
* Take a really good photo of it and frame it! That’s your keepsake.
~ I know you spent days on the hand painted mural of the kids in the family room, but see above for what to do.
This is key to making that transition from owner to seller.
