When the time comes to place your home on the market, there are a number of “secrets” you can use to take your house from ordinary to extraordinary in the eyes of homebuyers.
Make your home stand out from the competition by following these selling steps.
#1 – The Price is Right
This is where I come in – to help you determine the fair market value of your home, taking into consideration the homes that have recently been listed and sold in your community. I will evaluate the features these homes have and determine what the best price for your home shall be. This means pricing your home right, so it will remain competitive within the local real estate market.
#2 – Preparation Is Important
Before your house even enters the market, there are a few things you might want to do. Make sure your home is in good repair. Replace things that aren’t working or need to be updated. A new splash of paint inside and outside will make a house feel, smell, and look clean and new. You want the buyer to leave your home with the best impression they could possibly have.
#3 – Curb Appeal
In order to get buyers in your home, the most important thing is that the outside of your home looks appealing and welcoming, since this is the first thing a potential buyer will see. Curb appeal is incredibly important! A few small changes and you can make the outside of your home stand out.
#4 – Staging
Staging your home is one of the most important home selling tips since it will bring out the best features of your home. Remember, less is best, so clearing clutter and storing large pieces of furniture will make your home look as if it has an abundance of space. Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in your home, so remove all personal items including photographs. Some other things to consider are, updating hardware, lighting, kitchen cabinets, and using a neutral color scheme throughout.
Keep in mind, we will be very happy to be of help to you during the preparation of selling your home.
