be? Can you buy non-contingent? It’s a great idea to discuss your
financing options with a lender before you list your home for sale.
If you can get pre-approved to purchase a home non-contingent, if
need be, it can give you a huge advantage over sellers who are selling
their homes subject to finding a suitable property to purchase.
Consider Having a Pre-List Inspection
One of the reasons a home sale gets derailed is due to the home
inspection. Some buyers may opt to have their offer contingent on an
acceptable home inspection. Some can even get alarmed and scared
by the smallest home inspection finding. It can be easy to avoid this
possibility and eliminate surprises by having your home inspected by
a professional before listing it.
Clean & Organize
It’s imperative to give your home a thorough “spring cleaning.” Be
proactive and start cleaning now; you’ll be glad you didn’t wait. Here
are just a few things to make sure you clean before listing your home:
• Wash your windows
• Dust your blinds
• Dust baseboard trims
• Clean appliances
• Clean shower(s) & toilet(s)
• Clean inside cabinets
When selling a home, it’s important that you de-clutter and
organize your home, too. A great way to achieve this is by packing. It
may sound silly since you haven’t listed your home for sale yet, but
you will need to pack at some point anyway, so why not do it now!
Clean out closets and pack away anything that you don’t need. It is
incredible how much better a home will show and how much quicker
it will sell if it’s organized and de-cluttered.
Curb Appeal
Pay attention to the exterior details of your home too! Does your
home need a quick power wash? Splashes of color with spring flower
beds or planters will have a positive impact. Keep lawns manicured
and edged, making the walk to your front door inviting and
pleasurable!
Final Thoughts
Spring is a great time to be selling a home! Be proactive and follow
the above tips for getting ready for the spring real estate market.
You will be glad you did when your home sells quickly and for a high
price!
