How To Prepare Your Home For Sale

Here at The 808 Real Estate Team, we know that selling a property involves much more than a few property photos and posting it on the MLS. There are plenty of things that you as a seller can do to prepare to list your home and help you get top dollar for your property when it hits the market. 

Preparing your exterior:

• Keep the grass freshly cut 

• Remove yard clutter 

• Paint 

• Clean Windows 

Preparing your interior:

• Remove excess wall hangings, furniture, and knick knacks. Although they may seem important to you, remember that you are making your home generic to tailor to buyers who might have a different taste than you do. 

• Paint walls 

• Shampoo carpets

• Vacate listing during showings 

For showings: 

• Turn on all the lights 

• Open curtains during the daytime 

• Secure pets

• Infuse the home with a comforting scent 

It’s important to make sure the home is as clean as possible before photography and showings take place at the home. First impressions are important, and you want to make sure your home shows well for the best possible chance of getting sold. Looking for more tips?
