Are you getting ready to list your home on the market? Whether it’s your first time or you’re a veteran seller, you know the process can be a bit stressful. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make getting your home ready to list much smoother. Here is the ultimate guide to getting your home ready to list: Start by eliminating clutter. Aside from simply de-cluttering, you should consider the removal of excess furniture and wall décor. The more minimalist the rooms are, the larger they appear to potential buyers. Additionally, you’ll want to put away any personal possessions you still have around, including family photos and mementos. Make sure to spruce up the exterior of the home. Potential buyers pull up to a home and have a certain picture in their mind of what the perfect home is, even if the buyer cannot name all the things that he or she likes. Make sure that the outside of home is well taken care of, with freshly trimmed grass, neatly organized landscaping and paint that is in good condition. Do the deep cleaning. After de-cluttering and tidying, it is time to do the deep cleaning. Vacuum the carpets, mop the floors, scrub the toilets and sinks, dust the light fixtures and shelves, etc. Doing all of this ensures that the home shows its full potential. Make minor repairs and replacements. Minor repairs, such as replacing broken doorknobs and outlet covers, are inexpensive and can make a big difference in buyers’ perceptions of the property. Larger replacement projects, such as replacing an old roof or replacing carpet, may only be necessary if the condition of those items drastically affects the value of the home. By following these steps, you’ll be prepared to list your home quickly and smoothly. Check out this article for a comprehensive guide:
