5 Things you should do to get top dollar from the sale of your home
#1. Declutter your home and free up the floor space inside of your home including all living areas, closets, cabinetry, your basement, and your garage. You can use storage tubs to help organize or store your items.
#2. Once you have decluttered, it’s time to clean your house like it has never been cleaned before. Spic and span, spotless and shiny. Give your home the white glove treatment.
#3. Fresh paint especially in areas where your it is looking a little worn. Paint is one of the least expensive things you can and it has the most bang for the buck spent. Paint does 2 things: It suddenly modernizes your home especially if your home has old out of date colors and it makes a home appear cleaner. if you choose lighter and more current paint colors it can also make the home feel spacious compared to a home that has dark paint colors.
#4. Deep clean or replace carpet or nasty flooring - It’s tough to sell a house with nasty carpeting #4. Remove unpleasant smells – I have said for years “If you can smell it, you can’t sell it”. Don’t try to hide bad odors by covering them with sprays, focus on cleaning, neutralizing and eliminating those smells.
#5. Get the outside looking sharp – Pressure wash mildew off the siding, clean the decks and porches and paint or stain if needed, edge the lawns, trim everything, mulch everything, paint the front door.
These 5 items will help you get top dollar for your home.
