REALTY EXECUTIVES Regional Office
If you are thinking of selling your house this spring, there are many ways to prepare prior to putting your home on the market! Here are 5 tips to help prepare your home for the spring market!
#1 - Find a knowledgeable Realtor®
Most people know someone who is a Real Estate Agent, whether it be a cousin, a friend of a friend, or someone else in your circle, but it is important to remember that just because someone is a Real Estate Agent, it doesn’t mean they are the best fit for you. Just like buying a car, you are allowed to shop around, and find a Realtor® that is the best fit for your house.
#2 - Spruce up your Curb Appeal
The first opinion someone gets of a house is from the street, so it is important to make sure that the exterior of your home is as nice as the interior. One important way to improve curb appeal is to paint! This could be the house itself, but can also include shutters and even your mailbox! Another way to improve curb appeal is by preparing the lawn. This includes pulling weeds, cutting the grass, and planting flowers and landscaping. Remember, this is a first impression, so you want to make your house look good!
#3 - Interior Updates
Like the outside, it is also important to make sure your interior is the best it can be! This includes giving your home a fresh coat of paint. It is amazing what this can do for your house! Another thing to check is that your door knobs, drawer pulls, and light fixtures are all in good condition. The last thing you want is for a door knob to fall off during a showing of your home!
#4 - Declutter
Since you are preparing to move, this is a great time to start decluttering. Most people have more items in their house than they would like to admit, so this is a great time to go through that spare room or closet that you’ve been wanting to! This is also a good time to try and make your house feel more spacious - one way to do this is by re-arranging the layout of furniture, or by moving out a piece or two of your furniture.
#5 - Spring Cleaning
This is a great tip for everyone, but especially important for those thinking of selling their home! Prior to listing, it is important to clean all the rooms of your house and make sure to clean your baseboards, ceilings and ceiling fans, and carpet where necessary. If this feels overwhelming, it is always an option to hire a professional cleaning service!
We hope that following these tips and using the right Realtor® will help make the home-selling process go smoothly, and make for an awesome transaction!
