Pre-List Preparation

Thinking of selling your home? Here are a few things you can do to start getting your home ready to hit the market!

  • Remove Clutter - This is something most clients need to work on the most! We tend to collect things over the years that are just taking up space. You want buyers to see a clean, simple layout rid of extra messes or personal items. Getting rid of excess things now will also help with your move!

  • Deep Clean - Shine the appliances, clean the carpet, polish the floors, dust the light fixtures, clean the windows, wipe the baseboards, dust the fans. 

  • Repair Items - Tighten or repair loose knobs, sticky or squeaky doors, repair broken light switches, add new caulk or grout in the bathroom, fix leaky faucets. 

  • Consider Repainting - A fresh coat of paint is often the most inexpensive way to instantly spruce up your home. Don’t forget to check the outside trim for chipped paint due to weather.

  • Clean the yard - First impressions are crucial! Clean the flower beds, rake leaves, sweep the walkways, straighten the gutters, fix the mailbox, etc. Even though it is winter and most things have died, you can add colorful potted plants to liven up the appearance.
