Like everyone else, you might be getting by in the space you are in, in hopes the market shifts into your favor. We know the market is always changing. Do these things NOW to put yourself in a better position for when it is ready to sell.

1.Know Your Value. Sure, you can check your Zestimate, but how accurate is it? Zillow cannot go into your home. It doesn’t know the changes you’ve made recently therefore their estimate is not always accurate. Start working with a local real estate professional who has crucial local knowledge in your area. By starting to align yourself with a professional now, you will be able to utilize their resources to set yourself up for a successful sale. It’s never too early to begin a relationship with a local Realtor and tap into the value they bring to the entire home selling experience. Buying and selling property is a big financial undertaking, it’s never too early to start preparing so you can get the maximum profit of your investment. Take advantage of their resources and knowledge. http://sheenaalescio.com

 

2.Start Getting Your Home Tidy. It’s never too early to start de-cluttering and cleaning rooms. By doing this, the rooms will appear more spacious and allow potential buyers to envision their belongings in the space. Clean your home throughly and pay attention to often overlooked areas such as clutter on tables or countertops.  https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/decluttering-tips-36704986

 

3. Make Necessary Repairs. Do you have things you’ve been putting off? Now is a great time to look at you through your home (inside and out) through BUYER’S EYE’S. Imagine you are a buyer walking through your home, what sticks out as a possible flaw? A fresh coat of paint can go a long way, and minor fixes can increase the value of your home.

 

4.Neutralize and Depersonalize. If you are considering painting, neutral color tones appeal to a broader range of buyers. By removing personal items such as photos will allow potential buyers to envision the space as their home. Start taking things off the wall to give a more simpler appearance. Now is a great time to go through your “things” and see if it brings you joy or not. If you want to hold onto things that will be coming to your next home, this would be a great opportunity to start packing it up. If there are things you want to donate or sell, start doing so now.

 

5.Deep Clean Carpets and Flooring. Has it been a while since your carpets been deep cleaned? Carpet can trap in pet odors and dirt. The smell of a home is often times someones first impression when walking into a home. Perhaps you don’t smell anything being you are accustom to your home and spend lots of your time there. By getting your carpet deep cleaned, it will remove and odors or stains that will help make a great first impression to potential home buyers. Wood flooring is a positive feature in homes, if you notice yours are getting dull or maybe they have developed small scratches. You may want to consider getting the refurnished to showcase this feature.

 

6.Enhance Curb Appeal. First impressions do matter! Ensure the exterior of your home is well-maintained. Consider freshening up the landscaping and add potted plants or flowers. Take a walk around your house, most likely there is opportunity to do some minor repairs to showcase your home. Photography will more than likely be done when listing your home, make sure your house is attractive and stands out to potential homebuyers.  https://www.homelight.com/blog/curb-appeal-for-selling-your-home/
