Julie Nesbitt of Nesbitt Realty recommends the following preparation tips for those who are selling their homes:
- Create a neutral environment by boxing up personal items such as knick-knacks, family mementos, and books.
- Make the rooms seem more spacious by removing excess furniture.
- Thoroughly clean carpets, windows, closets, and ovens.
- Assess needed household repairs and make them.
- Clear debris from sidewalks, decks, and driveways.
- Get a qualified HVAC specialist to certify that the furnace and air conditioner is in good condition.
- Replace dated kitchen and bathroom hardware and fixtures.
- Remove heavy curtains that block light.
- Repaint rooms that look dull using a neutral color such as cream or tan.
