Tips on Selling Your Home

Tips for Selling Your Home

Giving your home a makeover before putting it on the market is a great way to ensure you sell your home quickly and for the highest value possible. Here are the things you can do to make your home appealing to potential buyers:

• Update Your Home. This doesn’t mean you have to completely remodel, but changing out an old sink and faucet, or upgrading your light fixtures can really impact the look and feel of a home. Touching up or repainting is another excellent option that can cost-effectively create new depth in a home.
•  Declutter. Removing extra items and personal effects not only makes your home feel bigger and brighter while allowing your buyer to envision themselves in the space but also helps you emotionally disconnect from the home, making the sale easier on you in the long run.
•  Consider Curb Appeal.  First impressions can make or break a deal. Make sure the lawn is well maintained and consider adding some landscaping. Depending on the size of your home and yard, building a fence can add to the appearance of your home and make buyers with pets and children happy. Pressure washing, adding outdoor lighting, and fixing gutters can also go a long way.
•  Deep Cleaning. Don’t underestimate the power of elbow grease. Potential buyers leave no stone unturned, from ceiling fans and window blinds to baseboards and tile grout everything should be as close to spotless as possible.
•  Refresh Your Appliances. Updating kitchen appliances to the current standard and switching out hardware is a relatively inexpensive way to update your home and make it more attractive to buyers.
