It seems that as spring roles around people begin to think about putting their home on the market. If you are one of those folks, here are some tips to help you move your home quickly and help bring you top dollar!
Curb appeal. It is the first impression. If they don't like it from the outside, there is a good chance they won't go through the front door. Address your yard, does it need to be treated for weeds, is it green, does it need mowed?? How about the landscaping? Be sure shrubs and trees are trimmed and neat. If the plant is not looking well, remove it. Add some color by adding annuals in flowerbeds or a colorful and healthy planter of flowers near the entrance.
Now, let's step inside. It requires planning to market your home. This is why I tell my clients this is a team effort. Remember, you are competing with many other homes on the market. Remove clutter. This is a good time to clean. Give it away, throw it away, put it in plastic containers and store it. You want your home to be spacious. Do the walls need to be painted? How does the flooring look? Does it need to be cleaned? Does it need to be replaced? Check the bathroom tub area's, does the tile need grouting, or re caulked. Always be sure the kitchen and baths are sparkling clean! Make the beds and pick up clothes and put them away. The homes that have the cleanest and most organized appearance sell faster and for top dollar. Most buyers gravitate towards this type of home. They want to be able to just move in. For those who wish to take your chances and allow for carpeting or decorating allowances, there is a strong possibility you will find your home on the market for a longer period of time and at a greatly reduced price.
