Are you getting ready to put your house up for sale? These three tips will help you get your house ready for the market.
If you're selling your house, there are three important things you can do to prepare it for the market.
The first thing you should do is look at your home from a buyer's perspective. You want great curb appeal, so make sure your lawn is manicured and your bushes and shrubs are trimmed. Remember, it's a competition with other homes for sale in your neighborhood, and this is where the competition starts. If you don't have a green thumb, hire a professional to get the yard looking nice and cleaned up.
The second thing to look into when preparing your home is maintenance and repairs. Fix any broken screens, tighten up that leaky faucet, change the filters in the HVAC system, and anything else along these lines. Savvy buyers with sharp agents will perform a home inspection, so you want to be prepared for it because those issues will be called out in a home inspection if they're not addressed beforehand.
Any issues you don't repair will show up in a home inspection.
Finally, you want to clean, declutter, and consider talking to a stager about getting your home looking showroom-ready for buyers. This will create a memorable first impression and help buyers picture themselves living in your house.
