Boost your curb appeal.
The first thing a potential buyer sees upon arrival for a showing is the exterior of your property. Most homes can benefit from the lawn being freshly mowed, weeds pulled from garden beds and bushes trimmed back to showcase the home.
Declutter and organize your home.
A decluttered space maximizes the perceived size of a room. Pack up and remove any non-essential items, knick-knacks, family photos or personal items. Taking this step is recommended prior to photography, marketing and showings.
Apply a fresh coat of paint.
Bright rooms give the feeling of more space and a lighter color palette is preferred by most homebuyers. Dark accent walls or rooms with dramatic colors can be a turn-off for some homebuyers. Scuffs and marks on walls and trim can make a home look dirty when clean. If a new paint isn’t an option, cleaning up where you can is the next best option.
Use bright and natural lighting.
Remove or open dark window coverings and add lighting fixtures in dim areas. Make sure all light bulbs are replaced and in working order. Before a showing, it’s best to turn on all the lights and open all the window coverings to show the home in the brightest light.
Prepare documents for listing.
There are several documents required when listing a home for sale, including the Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure, and the Mineral, Oil and Gas Disclosure. Details regarding the age of the roof, age of appliances, construction materials etc wioll need to be detailed. If applicable, request your homeowner association bylaws and other documents from your association. Make a note of annual or monthly costs collected, services provided and any neighborhood amenities that may be attractive to a potential buyer.
Our team will work with you to guide you through the entire process.
Consider a home inspection.
Being informed on maintenance issues ahead of contract negotiations puts you in a position of strength. Repairing or replacing maintenance issues can go a long way in making a potential buyer feel at home when viewing your property.
Consider professional cleaners.
It’s a great idea to hire a professional cleaning service to make sure your home is ready for the spotlight. High traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms typically show the most dirt and require the most attention.
