Let’s talk about these 6 steps to prepare your home for sale.

1 – Declutter and Depersonalize – Start by removing unnecessary clutter and personal items that can help to create a clean, neutral space for potential buyers to envision their own things in.

2 – Deep Clean – Thoroughly clean each area of your home, focusing special attention on carpets, windows and countertops. You want to showcase a fresh, inviting atmosphere to those walking through.

3 – Repairs and Maintenance – Go ahead and fix those things that are in need of repairs like leaky faucets, broken tiles, and chipped paint. You want to display a well-maintained home to buyers.

4 – Neutral Colors and Style – Try and keep the color palette in neutral tones. It’s much easier for buyers to imagine their own style and preferences in the space.

5 – Maximize Natural Light – Be sure to open all blinds and curtains to create a large and inviting space.

6 – Stage for Success – Set the stage for showings by showcasing each area with furniture arranged to maximize the space. Creating a warm and inviting ambiance with a light scent and some fresh flowers is sure to enhance the atmosphere as well.
