Having your home in the best possible condition can put more money in your pocket when you go to sell. Before the buyers arrive, there are a few simple steps you can take that may help you maximize the value of your home.
Here are 7 things you should do to get your home ready to sell:
- Place a fresh welcome mat at the front door and hang a potted plant from a hook near the front of the house to create an inviting space.
- De-clutter the property. Remove unnecessary objects from tables, shelves, and countertops and store toiletries out of sight when you are done using them.
- Clean out and organize all closets. Not only will your move be easier, but this showcases your home’s storage space.
- Make sure all carpets and hardwood floors are professionally cleaned and vacuumed daily. Replace worn carpet and make sure the floors are ready for guests.
- Perform yard maintenance to give the best possible first impression. Mow the lawn, trim plants and trees, and sweep the sidewalk and driveway.
- Professionally clean all windows and have them repaired if necessary.
- Make a detailed list of impressive features about your home that make it more valuable, as well as the benefits of your home’s location.
