Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

Hispanic couple packing moving boxes 

Are you thinking about selling your house?  You want to make sure your house looks great before it's viewed.  People are going to envision it as their house so you want to leave them with a great first impression.  Here are a few things you should do before you start showing your house:

  • Depersonalize the house by putting away family photos and other personal items.
 
  • Organize all your closets and put your shoes/boots away neatly.  Clean out your garage and get rid of any junk.

  • Make necessary renovations such as putting in new floors, replacing the windows or painting the walls.

  • Replace your appliances or make your current ones spotless so everything looks new.
 
  • Curb appeal is important so tidy up the front yard and the backyard.  If you have children pick up all the toys and put them away.  Cut the grass and trim the bushes.  Make sure the lights outside work and replace them if necessary.
 
  • Make all the beds and open all the drapes for natural light.  Clean the bathrooms and put out new mats and fresh towels.

  • Ensure the house has a nice smell.  Avoid smells such as cigarette smoke as this can chase away potential buyers.
