Preparing Your Home TO Sell

When preparing to list your property for sale, there are several things to consider that can help increase its appeal to potential buyers and leave a lasting impression.

1. Curb Appeal. Improving the appearance of your yard by maintaining its cleanliness and adding unique features like colorful annual plants can make a noticeable and positive impression on people passing by and those who may be interested in purchasing the property.

2. Property Repairs. By making small improvements like fixing windows, polishing doorknobs, and giving a fresh coat of paint to commonly used rooms, the property can be quickly rejuvenated and look more appealing to potential buyers.

3. Cleanliness and Staging. To prepare your property for listing, it’s essential to maintain a tidy, fresh-smelling, and well-lit environment throughout the entire space. This means paying close attention to details such as putting away pet items, placing a lovely vase of flowers near the entrance, baking some cinnamon rolls, and ensuring the carpets are clean. Your agent will inspect the property before listing it to provide suggestions on how to enhance its staging.

4. Disclosures and Inspections. We have extensive knowledge of the legal requirements for disclosures and can assist you in creating a comprehensive statement that benefits both you and the buyer. Additionally, we can recommend necessary home improvement measures like termite and pest inspections before placing your property on the market.

5. Showtime. We will handle the task of presenting your property to potential buyers. Buyers often feel more at ease discussing the property with the agent if the owner is not present. Furthermore, your agent will have knowledge of which information will be most effective in representing your interests when communicating with potential buyers.
