What Should I Do To Prepare My Home For Sale



I’m here today to answer the question: What should I do to prepare my home for sale. In order to get the most money possible for your home we spend a good amount of time with you managing its preparation. Quality preparation will leave buyers with the best impression. So, what do you need to do to prepare your home for sale? 1.Repairs: The most critical repairs to do to achieve maximum value for your home include: damaged flooring, water stains, torn window screens, grout, leaky faucets, cracks in the ceiling and walls, cracked or broken tiles and old caulking around bathtubs, sinks and showers. We want buyers to feel comfortable that the home has been looked after. 2. Smart Cosmetic changes inside and outside: The most common changes I recommend to my clients include: Reviving an outdated kitchen and washroom, a fresh coat of neutral paint inside and outside, change to LED ceiling light fixtures throughout the house and change to LED vanity light fixtures in the washrooms. Update all door handles. Replace old carpets with wood flooring. Freshen up the home’s curb appeal with a thorough yard clean-up, new shrubs and new flowers. 3. Cleanliness: Buyers are easily distracted and focus on the negatives when viewing a home. 4. Professional Staging: I cannot emphasize enough the incredible benefits of professional home staging. Here they are: 1.Faster Sale and Higher Price! When potential buyers can picture themselves living in the home, they will be more motivated to make a competitive offer. 2.Swipe Right! Photographs of a staged home are more likely to attract interest online. Since most homebuyers these days start their home hunt online, it’s important to make a good impression through photos. 3.Picture It! When potential buyers view a listing, they’re thinking beyond what their eyes are showing them. They’re visualizing themselves living in the space. A home stager will take an objective approach to decluttering and decorating, allowing prospective purchasers to view the space as theirs. Our Team home stager is the BEST. She will provide a full detailed report for you, listing everything that will need to be removed and what will be required to stage your home for maximum impact.
