4 Quick Tips for Prepping a Home For Sale
Before listing your home, you may want to consider some of the following general staging tips in prepping your home for sale.
- Super Clean. Make the house shine from top to bottom. Don't forget about cleaning the carpet, drapes and windows, too.
- Clear the clutter and unload some furniture. Remove unnecessary items from countertops, bathtubs, and shower stalls - areas that often attract the most clutter. Keep only necessities. A decluttered home helps buyers mentally 'move in' with their own things. You may need to rearrange or remove some furniture. Pieces that crowd a space make it look smaller than it really is.
- Prep your landscaping. Check gutters and roof for dry rot and moss, and ensure they are clean. Examine all plants. Prune bushes and trees, make sure no plants are blocking windows, remove dead plants, and keep the lawn freshly mowed.
- Add nice touches. Coordinate towels in the bathroom in one or two colors only. Keep accesories restricted to groups of one, three or five items. Make sure all lights and lamps are on for showings, and set an inviting mood.
Paying attention to some of these small details can mean less time on the market and more money in your pocket.
