11.) How can I get my home ready to sell?
It’s important for homeowners to remember that the way
they live in their home and the way they sell their home are
two different things. It’s well known that in order for buyers
to be able to imagine their own belongings in the home,
there needs to be fewer of your things around; this is why
decluttering is so important, and why it should be the first
thing you do. Organize your closets, take down excessive
artwork or pictures from the walls, and clear counters and
other surfaces of most items. This is the time to throw things
out or donate them if you can, as it will be difficult to hide your
excess “stuff” when potential buyers are going through cabinets
and closets looking at the space.
While going for this “clean” look, make sure that you actually
clean every inch of your home. Dust everything, clean furniture,
scrub the floors, and clean all other surfaces and appliances.
When doing this cleaning you need to make sure that the
kitchen and bathrooms especially are spotless. These are the
two rooms that will really sell buyers or turn them off of the
home so put in some extra time and effort when cleaning
these two rooms.
And when cleaning, don’t forget the outdoors! Curb appeal, or
rather, how nice your home looks from the outside, is a huge
factor as to when your home will sell and how many interested
buyers will set up a viewing appointment. Make sure that
sweep the sidewalk regularly, clean up any garbage, debris, or
