Top 3 Steps to Get Your Home Ready to Sell
When it comes to selling your home in a tough real estate market, consider your buyer. What does the buyer want from a home like yours? What is he or she expecting? You've put a lot of hard work and time into your home. You want to sell it at the highest level possible. At the same time, you don't want to price your home too high, as this may mean it does not sell or takes a long time to sell. A few key tips can help you get the results you are looking for.
#1 Get Your Home'Sell-Ready'
Look around your property and notice things that would be a turn-off to potential buyers. Make those upgrades or repairs. A few key things that can make a big difference include:
- De-cluttering the home
- Repairing broken windows, electrical, and plumbing problems
- Cleaning and upgrading the landscape
- Paint walls in a neutral tone
- Upgrade any non-working or very outdated appliances
You want your buyer to see your home as ready to move in, not one requiring numerous repairs.
#2 Stage Your Home
You can pay a professional to do this for you or tackle the task on your own. The goal here is to remove as much of you as possible from the home and create a neutral backdrop for the new owners. You want them to see this as a home they can live in, not one others are living in.
Remove photos of your family, remove as much clutter as possible and organize spaces
