What should you do to get your home ready for sale?

Tips to help you sell your home and be happy with the results

Every seller wants their home to sell fast and bring top dollar. Do you wonder what should you do to get your home ready for sale? Well, it’s not luck that makes that happen, it’s careful planning and knowing how to professionally spruce up your home that will send home buyers scurrying for their check books. Here is how to prep a house and turn it into an irresistible and marketable home.

Here’s How

1.  De-Personalize   Remove photos. You want buyers to imagine their own photos on the walls, and they can’t do that if yours are there!

2.  De-Clutter  Remove all books from bookcases, Pack up those knickknacks, Clean off everything on kitchen counters.

3..Rearrange Bedroom Closets and Kitchen Cabinets  Visitors will open closet and cabinet doors. Think of the message it sends if items fall out! Now imagine what a buyer believes about you if she sees everything organized. It says you probably take good care of the rest of the house as well.

4.  Remove/Replace Favorite Items.  If you want to take window coverings, built-in appliances or fixtures with you, remove them now. If the chandelier in the dining room once belonged to your great grandmother, take it down. If a buyer never sees it, she won’t want it. Once you tell a buyer she can’t have an item, she will covet it, and it could blow your deal. Pack those items and replace them, if necessary.

5.  Make the House Sparkle! Hang up fresh towels, clean windows, through out worn rugs, clean out fridge, polish chrome facets, dust, clean out any musty smells
