Other Ideas to Help Sell Your Home Fast

Declutter and Update – There’s no bigger turn off’s than clutter. People just can’t see themselves in your home if you have a lot of clutter or personal items out in the open. Therefore, you should clean the inside of your home from top to bottom including ceiling fans, windows, baseboards, doors, etc. You may want to seek the assistance of a cleaning company if this is overwhelming to you. Check for odors from pets and old furniture. Deoderize as needed. Also, remove some furniture from each room. The more open you make the space the better. Buyers want homes with lots of space. And, don’t forget that every room of the home needs to be cleaned from top to bottom, including the kitchen, each bedroom, each bathroom, laundry area, garage, hallways, closets, etc.

Stage Your Home – You can seek the assistance from a professional home stager or you can do it yourself to save money. You can also ask your Realtor® for advice on your particular items and spaces. If you are going to stage your own home, create focal points in each room. Make sure there are clear paths everywhere you walk. If your furniture is old and worn you may want to consider buying furniture covers or buying new furniture if your budget will allow. Take your personal items like photos, artwork, books, and collectibles and box them up. Your goal is to have each room like a model room.
