Getting ready to sell a home and trying to figure out what steps to take can be overwhelming. While life can be hectic, selling your home doesn’t always have to be. Team Morris Homes has compiled a list of tasks that will help when selling your home to make things a bit easier for you.
find a realtor
A realtor can help you do many things, from researching housing markets in the neighborhood, to selling your home. When looking for a realtor you should be sure of their experience, their knowledge of the area, and a realtor should be able to give you a well laid out plan of how they are going to sell your home.
buy more light bulbs
Why buying more light bulbs may seem like a silly notion, when showing your home to potential buyers you want to ensure that all light fixtures are turned on with working bulbs.
give your house a deep clean
First impressions are important. Odors, dusty surfaces, and dirty floors can give off a bad vibe to potential buyers. So giving the house a deep clean can help peek a buyers interest.
declutter the home
Along with cleaning the home, there shouldn’t be clutter in the home. Organizing the space will make the home more appealing and give potential buyers the ability to view the home and not the belongings.
call a handyman
Having a handyman come out and make repairs will go a long way. Buyers want to know that the home has been taken care of and that there aren’t any issues with things like windows, faucets, locks, etc.
paint the walls
While one persons tastes for paint may be eccentric, which is ok, potential buyers may not be able to get past the colors. Paint neutral colors, such as beige, which and light grey, to give the home a clean, bigger and brighter feel. This will also help provide a blank space for potential buyers imaginations.
stage the home
Staging a home can help a house sell faster; however, you don’t want to overdo it by making it look inauthentic, such as setting a dining room table to perfection. You want the house to look homey.
hire a professional photographer
Many buyers look at pictures online before they ever decide to look at the home in person. Having high quality professional photos in your online listing will attract more buyers than photos that are of low resolution. A realtor should be able to help you out with this.
depersonalize your home
While you want to be proud of your home and have it sold, you want potential buyers to be able to envision a life of their own in the home. Therefore, you want to put away the majority of framed photos and personal items. You can leave few things to make the home look inviting though. This will keep the balance between depersonalization and a warm inviting home.
These tasks that will help when selling your home are just a few ways you can get the jump start when getting ready to sell. However, you should always consult your realtor when getting ready to sell. A realtor will be the biggest help you can have in this process.
