- LET IN THE LIGHT
Open curtains and pull the shades to let in as much light as possible. Natural light can make spaces feel more inviting and spacious, enhancing the overall appeal of your home to potential buyers.
- CLEAN
A dirty home does not look well maintained. Clean your home from top to bottom, paying attention to details like dusting, vacuuming, and ensuring surfaces are spotless. A clean home not only looks more attractive but also gives the impression that the property has been well cared for.
- STAGING
Having your home staged to look appealing to buyers can make a significant difference in how quickly it sells. Consider arranging furniture to maximize space, adding decorative touches, and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that helps buyers envision themselves living in the space.
- DECLUTTER
All of your belongings do not sell with the home. So now is the time to declutter and remove personal items such as photos or collections. Clearing out excess clutter can make rooms appear larger and more organized, allowing buyers to focus on the potential of the space rather than being distracted by personal items.
- CURB APPEAL
A buyer’s first impression is made when that person pulls up the driveway. Make sure your home’s exterior is well-maintained, with trimmed landscaping, a freshly painted front door, and a welcoming entryway. Enhancing curb appeal can draw buyers in and set a positive tone for their viewing of the property.
- PETS
If you have pets, you need to make their presence disappear during showings. Food bowls should be stored, pet beds removed, and any signs of pets should be minimized. Some buyers may have allergies or be put off by pet odors, so it’s important to create a neutral environment that appeals to a wide range of potential buyers.
- DON’T STAY
When your home has a showing scheduled, you need to leave. A buyer wants to feel comfortable inspecting your home, which is difficult to do if you are there. Giving buyers the space to explore the property freely and envision themselves living there can help create a positive experience and increase the likelihood of a successful sale.
