Many people don't realize that the home selling process begins months before listing. People often want to sell their home but wait until the summer months to put it on the market. What often happens is that these people end up setting these dates and doing next to nothing to get the home ready. With a lack of preparation, your home might sit on the market for much longer than you hoped. This may affect your sale price. By improving the condition of your home, you can improve the value and thus get more for it. Here are 3 things we recommend to make sure your home selling experience is the best it can be:
Home Inspection: Get a home inspection done on your property. Be proactive in looking for anything that might hinder a sale. By uncovering issues you may have been unaware of, you can end problems and headaches down the road. Discovering hidden major issues, like foundation can kill deals. You don't want to get so close to a sale only to have to start back at square one. Get a home inspection done, find out what your issues are and deal with them ahead of time.
Professional Cleaning: A good clean can do wonders for selling a home. We recommend professional cleaning. Even though dirt may be superficial, it can put off otherwise interested buyers. People associate cleanliness with good upkeeping of a home. When buyers wonder how clean you've kept your home, they may question its general upkeep. Get a good cleaning done, and keep in the best condition possible.
Home Staging: Consider having your home staged by pros. Potential buyers enjoy seeing attractive artwork, couches, accessories, colours, flowers or blankets. These things make it is easier to imagine themselves living there as it can be much more inviting. Stagers can also make suggestions for decluttering and changing the paint colour.
