What To Do To Prepare:
Here are a few pointers when preparing to launch into the marketplace.
Curb Appeal.
Keeping your lawn freshly mowed, and weeded. Fresh mulch and colorful flowers create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers. A freshly painted front door and updated doorbell tell a Buyer your home has been well maintained. Don’t forget a potted plant and a new doormat.
Property Repairs.
Take care of any small repairs that can make a big difference in the appearance of your home. Repair leaky faucets, replace broken tiles, fix squeaky doors, and replace any burned-out light bulbs. A fresh coat of paint in frequently used rooms. Make sure to have your HVAC system serviced and cleaned.
Clean and Stage.
Invest in a professional deep cleaning of your home, carpet cleaning, and professional window washing. Declutter your countertops and closets. Staging your home helps sell a house 85% faster than a non-staged home. On average, staging brings 3% more money to the Seller.
Showtime.
Showings are scheduled through a secure showing service that Agents access online for showing appointments. You are conveniently contacted via text, phone, or email to approve the showing. It is best in most situations for the Seller not to be present during showings.
