Getting Your House Ready to Sell

Getting your house ready to sell? Here’s a few tips on what you may want to do to prepare. Focus on making it inviting, showing it’s cared for, and boosting your curb appeal.

‍

Make it Inviting:

Open all the window treatments. If you have heavy wood blinds, consider removing them.

Check your lightbulbs. Replace if needed. Pro Tip: You want bright and warm light. Make sure they all match. 3000K is ideal.

Take down personal photos and personal items in shared spaces.

Declutter throughout your home.

Give every room a sole purpose.

Hang art, fresh towels and bring in a few plants.

‍

Show it's Cared For:

Fix anything that is broken.

Clean and then clean again or better yet have your home professionally cleaned.

Clean your windows.

Paint or touch up walls and trim.

Organize every room, closet and drawer.

‍

Boost Curb Appeal:

Power wash the exterior.

Tidy up landscaping. Remove anything that's dead or dying.

Lay fresh mulch.

Mow the lawn.

Place fresh flowers on the front step.

Get a new welcome mat.

Sweep the front steps and sidewalk.
