Tips for
Selling Your Property

Are you looking to sell your home? There are a few simple actions you can take to make your home stand out from the market. From adding more curb appeal, to staging the inside, these quick and easy tips can make a huge difference to grab buyers’ attention and have your home stand-out on your block! These tips could be the difference between a property that sells quickly and one that sits on the market interminably.

First Impressions
CURB APPEAL

  • This is the first part home buyers see – so make a strong first impression!
  • Take time to spruce up the exterior so you can impress buyers before they even step inside
    • Add curb appeal by maintaining the lawn, weeding the garden, planting some flowers, and power washing your siding and driveway.
    • Create an inviting porch or entryway by adding a nice welcome mat, arranging furniture, or even painting the front door with a color that makes the home pop.  These are simple ways to make your home stand out in the neighborhood.

Cleaning
AND REPAIRS

  • Buyers will appreciate the fact that you addressed exterior maintenance issues such as sagging rain gutters, dirty siding, or damaged window boxes. 
    • Be sure to fix or replace cracked windows, trim tree branches away from the house, consider touching up painted exteriors, and ensure there is no loose debris in front of the home.

Interior Décor
LASTING APPEAL

  • Once the exterior of your home is pristine, start looking for ways to impress buyers from the inside.
  • Not everyone will have the same decorating taste as you, so try to depersonalize the interior design by sticking to neutral colors and adding neutral art and centerpieces.
  • Do not overcrowd the rooms with furniture. Keep it simple so your rooms feel large, but cozy. 
    • Clean out cluttered drawers, closets, and cabinets, giving your home an un-cluttered feel.
    • Make your home sparkle – Scrub tiles and grout, clean any showers or tubs, and dust-off ceiling fans

Our
FINAL TIPS

  • Paying attention to detail is important for giving your home that “wow” factor and will undoubtedly attract and impress buyers.
  • Little improvements throughout the home will attract buyers, even if they don’t notice them right away.
  • Lighting is key when selling a home to buyers, whether it be natural or artificial. Large windows with drapes pulled to the side will add ample natural lighting, making your space appear bigger.
  • While your décor might be neutral, try to add pops of color around the home to bring some excitement to each area.
  • Walk your home through the eyes of the buyer and be critical so that your home shows the way you want it to. Work with a realtor who will provide you clear insight as they walk with you. A realtor’s job is to sell your home at the best price in the shortest amount of time.
