Tip #1 Make that first impression count!
It has been said many times, but you only get one chance at a first impression. From curb appeal, to a sparkling clean home, the first look a potential buyer has of your home is the one they will carry with them. Getting them to have a positive emotional response to your home is key. Having a home that is warm and inviting will make the impression you are hoping to make. Clean and prepare you home as if your mother-in-law who was getting ready to visit.
Tip #2 Kitchen and Bathrooms can sell a home!
It really is true, a dated kitchen or bath can make a big difference in the value of your home. If you are going to spend money on remodeling, this is usually the place to start. Normally, you will get back at least 85% of what you put into your kitchen or bath. It can also make a big difference when a buyer is making a decision on which home to buy; the one with the nicest kitchen and bath will normally take center stage! These are the most important rooms to keep clean and fresh as well! Odors you may not notice, a buyer will.
Tip #3 Quick pick-me-ups!
There are some quick pick-me-ups that you can do all around your home. Launder your curtains and press them before hanging. Replace dated light and plumbing fixtures to give an upgraded look without the remodeling costs. Fresh paint on the walls will also help make a home feel clean and new. Don’t forget to look up! Ceilings can often be forgotten when prepping your home; they may need to be freshened up as well.
