Start Off 2015 By Getting Your Home Ready To Sell

If selling your home is on your agenda in 2015 there is no better time than the first of a new year to prepare for just that!  Folks who are ready to make big changes in their lives typically are ready to do it at the beginning of a new year.  That is when New Year’s resolutions are made and it can also be a time of buying a home or getting your current home ready to sell.   If you are looking to put your house on the market you have come to the right place.  In this blog post we are going to give you a few tips and ideas on how to make your home ready for selling in 2015.

·        Do your spring cleaning early this year if selling your home is on your mind.  Cleaning up your home on the inside is just as important as cleaning it up on the outside.  If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, you are likely going to be stuck inside a bit anyway, so why not get some deep cleaning done.  If you take a week or so and really deep clean your house you may have it ready for showing in a very short amount of time. 

·        Have a New Year’s Eve open house.  Serve drinks and snacks to all who enter and you may find that your buyer walks right into your home the night of your open house.  If you really want to impress people then get a DJ to play some great music to appeal to your potential buyers.  These kinds of gestures let folks know that you are serious about selling and that you are motivated to sell.  It may cost you a bit of money to pull off a New Years Eve open house but it will be totally worth it if you find a buyer quickly by doing so.

·        Send out an email to all of your friends and family to let them know you are putting your house on the market for the start of 2015.  Include some photos of your house as well so that they can show your home to others who they may come in contact with each week. 

·        Most importantly do not give up when selling your home.  It takes persistence and a great Realtor to get your home sold.  If you hire the right person to show off your home’s assets it shouldn’t take very long to seal the deal.
