Top Items to Help Get Your Home Ready to Sell - Create the perfect spot for your buyers - Declutter, depersonalize and clean. This spot has got to appeal to the masses and to your target buyer. Create a clean, open, inviting space. Take down all of the personal items, including photos. You want to SELL not market your home.
Curb Appeal - you've got to get them in the door to sell your house. Trim your bushes, paint the exterior of your home, clean the gutters, add flowers, power wash the driveway, keep the grass mowed, upgrade the lighting, and add a large welcome mat with some potted plants. Make sure the key actually opens the door easily! Change out hardware, paint the front door a contrasting color.
Paint -a fresh coat of paint throughout the whole house will do wonders. This is your chance to neutralize the colors: light and bright is our goal.
Set the STAGE - you need to "stage" this house as the perfect spot for someone else. It may not be the way YOU want to live, but our goal is to SELL your house, not list it. Make it show like a model home.
Daily spot cleaning - you and your family have got to be committed to getting this house sold. That means a daily/nightly routine is to clean up and pick. After cooking, put everything away. Put all kids' toys in THEIR room, not the living room. Remove the daily life clutter. Hide things in drawers and cupboards; just get them off the counters!
