If you're getting ready to sell your home, there are a few
things you should do first. At the top of the list are repairs, decluttering,
and staging your home for a super sale. With the help of your
In today's market that's vital; buyers typically begin their
search online. That means they're going to view photos and videos of homes
before they decide if they want to actually go to see the home in person.
Start with rooms that tend to be the biggest attractions:
the kitchen, master bedroom, and bathrooms. Declutter first. Gather up large
trash bags and boxes, then sort through the clutter by either packing up things
that will move with you or throwing out trash and unusable items. Use another
bag for items that you'll sell or give to charity.
Don't go on to another room until you have cleared away the
clutter and the personal belongings in the first room. This process can become
highly unsuccessful if you bounce between rooms, moving clutter from one room
to the next. The idea is to get organized by having three categories: moving
boxes, charity bags, and trash.
Once, you've cleared some space, now lighten and brighten
the room. If you have dark or heavy curtains or window coverings and you're
selling your home in the spring or summer, consider swapping them out for a
lighter color and material that's more seasonal. They don't have to be
expensive. They should, however, convey a tone of cheerfulness and help to open
up the room and show off its best features.
Chipping and peeling paint, cabinets that look worn, and
stained countertops are all signs of wear and tear. While these things alone
may not deter buyers, they do give them cause to think twice about your home.
However, it's a good thing there are quick and relatively simple tricks like
applying fresh paint on the walls and refinishing cabinets and/or built-in
shelf-tops. These fast renovations seem like huge improvements and add value to
your home.
