Here are some realtor-approved tips and tricks that any home seller should follow when getting their house ready to list.
Your home should be as clean as possible, and we recommend doing this step first because if something can’t come clean, it needs to be replaced
There’s something to be said about first impressions, especially for prospective home buyers! You want to ensure that a buyer’s first impression of your home is a good one and that it entices them to schedule an open house to see more of what the home has to offer. A home with bad curb appeal can turn off the perfect buyer, so you’ll want to do everything you can to make your home look great from the outside-in.
You’ll want to depersonalize your space, meaning remove all pictures and personal mementos as possible. The idea is to have as blank of a slate as possible so potential buyers can envision themselves in your home.
Ample light makes a room look cheerful, so it is a good idea to invest in as many light sources you can. Whether this means switching out your light bulbs for brighter ones, painting the room a lighter shade, or even installing airy and flowy window fixtures, doing so will add a brighter effect to the entire home.
When it comes to staging your home, the more green, the better. Plants create a welcoming environment and impress home buyers.
