5 Important things to do Before Putting Your House on the Market.
1. Have a Pre Sale Home Inspection
Be proactive by arranging for a pre sale home inspection.
An Inspector will be able to give you a good indication of
the trouble areas that will stand out to potential buyers,
and you will be able to make needed repairs before the
house is shown.
2. Organize and Clean
Par down clutter and pack up your least used item, such
as large blenders and other kitchen tools, out of season
clothes, toys, and exercise equipment. Store items off site
or in boxes neatly arranged in the garage or basement.
Clean the windows, carpets, walls, lighting fixtures and
ceiling fans as well as baseboards to make the house shine.
3. Get Replacement Estimates
Do you have big ticket items that are worn out or will
need to be replaced soon, such as your roof or A/C?
Get estimates on how much it would cost to replace them,
even if you don't plan to do it yourself. The figures will
help the buyer determine if they can afford the home, and
will be handy when negotiations begin.
4. Find your Warranties
Gather up the warranties, guarantees and user manuals
for heating and air, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and
any other items that will remain with the house.
5. Spruce up the Curb Appeal
Pretend you are a buyer and stand outside your home. As
you approach the front door, what is your impression of
the property? Do the lawn and bushes look cared for?
Are there items that should be removed from the yard?
Are there weed growing in the driveway or sidewalks?
Are pretty flowers or plants framing the entrance?
