Ten Tips on Preparing a House to Sell

February 7, 2020 by Lori Todd

First and most important tip….  PREP.

Properly preparing a house to put on the market can mean a full-price offer or a quick sale.  Many times, when sellers to get a quick offer, they think they priced the house too low. But, most times, quick offers mean the house was prepared for good presentation and priced accurately!

#2 Tip – Clean up the outside. You’ve heard of ‘Curb Appeal’.  It’s real!

#3 Tip – Fresh Paint. Painting the front door and all the main traffic areas can provide a fresh, clean appearance.

#4 Tip – De-clutter all the rooms, especially the closets. If your closets are too full, buyers will feel like there isn’t enough space for them either.

#5 Tip – Create a spa-like setting for the bathrooms.

#6 Tip – Make all the small, miscellaneous repairs. They can add up and end up creating more problems.

#7 Tip – Remove personal items. Although they can help create a ‘home’, they can be distracting.

#8 Tip – Pressure wash the exterior and clear away any overhanging tree limbs.

#9 Tip – Clean the mechanicals and keep all the surfaces clear.  A clean appearance reflects the care given to the house.

And, the 10th Tip we can share….. HIRE A REALTOR.  Don’t go it alone. Legal documents, marketing, negotiations, ownership transfer and all the steps along the way can be overwhelming, especially when you don’t know the process.
