Getting your home ready to sell

Last time I asked if you were thinking of selling.  You have decided you are so what’s the next step.

You should prepare your home for sale. This means sprucing up the yard and putting away personal items.  Rake the yard, trim the trees and any bushes you have in your yard. Plant some flowers. You want your home to look nice when the buyers pull up to see it.  Does the trim need a fresh coat of paint?  A little time before you put the home on the market making the entrance look good will make your home sell faster and for a better price.

Inside you should put away the family pictures.  You want people picturing their family in the home not yours. Could some walls stand a fresh coat of paint? Do the carpets need cleaning?  Does the screen door have holes in it? How about the kitchen. Does your refrigerator have magnets and pictures from your children all over it? Clean it off, you can put them up when you buy your next home.   All these things get noticed by the buyer.

A fresh clean home will always sell faster and usually for your asking price or closer to it.

Next your ready to list!
