REAL ESTATE SPECIAL SECTION SUMMER 2024
If you ’ re ready to sell your home , be sure the tips below are checked off your list before you list !
• You only get one first impression ! Clean up the front of your home by adding plants or flowers for curb appeal .
• Wash down the exterior of your home ( everything from siding to sidewalks ) with a power washer or a hose attachment sprayer .
• Clear out gutters and wash windows , allowing the sun to brighten up your home .
• A fresh , neutral coat of paint and a new welcome mat can dress up a front door for buyers .
• Update or add house numbers to your home so that they are visible from the curb .
• Remove personal belongings from the entryway to make it clutter-free and inviting .
• Reposition furniture to allow for the best use of space , making rooms feel open .
• Don ’ t over-decorate a room . Leaving just enough furniture in each room to show the purpose of the room is key .
• Clear out garage space to leave extra room for cars .
SHAPE UP BEFORE YOU SHIP OUT
• Allow potential buyers to imagine themselves living in each room by removing photographs of family , personal sayings , and artwork .
• Allow as much natural light in as possible .
• Wipe down countertops and put away all small appliances to show adequate counter space .
• Declutter cabinets , refrigerator , and pantry to allow for a roomy look .
• Professionally clean carpets and flooring before showing your home ( and try to touch up before each showing ).
• Wipe down mirrors , countertops , and sink bowls .
• Re-caulk tubs , showers , and sinks .
• Close your toilet lid .
• Add natural scents with fresh flowers throughout the house , or bake a batch of cookies ( Yum !).
• Rooms should have fresh paint in neutral colors to appeal to a wide range of buyers .
• Remove off-season clothing from your closets to show more space .
• Hide garbage cans and be sure to empty them before a showing .
• Get ready to entertain some offers !
