Less is more. Clear counters, keep accessories on surfaces to a minimum. Keep closets orderly…buyers WILL look in closets and cupboards. Remember: how you live in your home and how you sell it are two different things.
Clear away cobwebs, clean light fixtures, wipe water spots from faucets, make appliances sparkle- whether they’re included in the sale or not. “Clean” implies that the home is well maintained - a definite value!
Making a great first impression is paramount. Paint the front door if it looks dingy, replace a worn door mat with a new one. Make sure the yard and pathway to the door is neat and welcoming.
Nothing gives rooms a lift like a fresh coat of paint. It’s the quickest, most affordable upgrade you can do. Your best bet is a light, neutral color to keep spaces looking larger.
Don’t ignore missing tiles, loose trim, chipped plaster, peeling wallpaper, unfilled nail holes…it all adds up and the buyer doesn’t need a “to do” list when they move into their new home.
Clean and organize garage and basement. If either is packed with items, get a storage space and move all items you’re not using. A dirty, messy garage or basement can look overwhelming to a buyer and can be a deal killer.
Arrange furniture to make rooms appear open and inviting. Put away extra furniture. Too much furniture shrinks a space.
Replace dated light fixtures. Dark equals small and dingy…keep rooms bright!
Open a window for 10 minutes before a showing. Eliminate pet or smoke odors - odors can be real deal killers - if you've painted and cleaned carpets in preparation to sell then do your best to refrain from smoking in the home and make sure the dog or cat is "house-trained." Potpourri or scented candles can help - but go easy.
Depending on your budget, adding a new bedspread, towels, throw pillows or even new carpeting & flooring can help you get top dollar.
