Introduction
You’ve made the decision to sell your home. Congratulations! But, with all of the work that goes into selling a home, it can feel like a huge commitment—especially if you’re moving out of state or need to relocate for another reason. Don’t worry; we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves for making sure your place is ready for potential buyers. By following these tips, sellers can rest assured knowing that their homes will stand out from the competition and sell quickly:
Do a few small projects
If you’re thinking about selling your home, there are a few small projects that can help it sell faster and for more money.
- Make sure the house smells good. Even if you don’t have pets or smoke in the house, it’s always good to light some candles or spray air freshener around before showings. Your prospective buyers will appreciate being greeted by a pleasant smell when they walk through the front door.
- Use your best home photos in marketing materials–and take more! You want these images to evoke an emotional response from people who see them so they’ll want to come see the house in person (or at least contact an agent).
- Clean up clutter before showing off your space; this will make rooms look bigger and brighter than if they were filled with stuff from top-to-bottom!
Clean up the clutter
The first step in getting your home ready to sell is cleaning up the clutter. Clutter makes a home look smaller, causes buyers to be distracted by what they see and feel overwhelmed by how much there is to do if they buy the home.
To help you get started, here are some tips:
- Organize your closets and drawers by adding labels or baskets for items like socks, underwear and t-shirts. This will make it easier for buyers when they go through their own belongings after purchasing the house from you.
- Get rid of any items that are broken or no longer work properly so that only functional items remain inside your home when potential buyers come through looking at it!
Make sure the house smells good
The smell of your home is one of the first things buyers will notice. Make sure it’s a good one! Use scented candles and air fresheners to make sure the house smells fresh, or even bake some cookies (they don’t have to be homemade) before showing your property.
Use your best home photos
- Use a professional photographer. A good photographer can make your house look its best, and ensure the photos are well-lit and clear.
- Be sure to use props that make it look bigger than it actually is, like mirrors or plants in front of windows.
