Top Secrets for Selling your Home Fast
by kathyregini |
- Price it right to begin with. If anything, list it just a tad under market value to get tons of showings and hopefully they’ll be caught in a bidding war!
- Curb appeal. Make a great first impression with things like a newly painted front door and pots of colorful flowers by the front door. Think: warm and welcoming.
- Replace anything worn or broken and make needed repairs. Your home must look well maintained, inside and out. Clean goes without saying.
- Update your kitchen and baths. New hardware, faucets, whatever you can afford…put the bulk of your money here.
- Have the home professionally staged and keep show ready. A stager will declutter, depersonalize, and arrange the furniture to showcase the floor plan. Your house will be more appealing to a greater number of people.
- Lighten Up. Keep all curtains and blinds open during the day and put high voltage bulbs in all light fixtures. The home must be bright and cheerful!
- Empty out your closets/storage areas. Remove whatever you can live without for the next three months and place in storage. Organize what’s left…buyers do look inside! Over stuffed closets signal not enough storage.
- Remove all signs that a pet lives here. Some equate animals with dirt ,smell and a wornout house. Don’t plant that seed.
