Today, we’re going to go over a few simple ways to prepare your home for sale. 

 

Start by improving your curb appeal. Curb appeal is the first thing people see when they come to the property. Put the trash cans away and make sure everything looks presentable. For instance, the lawn should be bright green. Consider adding some plants in the front yard as well.

 

Once inside the property, people will notice how clean it is. Reduce clutter in your home so people can appreciate the property rather than all your stuff. 

 

You should also keep the property nice and bright so it doesn’t feel like they are walking into a dungeon. Open up the windows and let a nice breeze in. That breeze will also help get rid of bad odors in the property. If you’re worried about smells in your home, have a friend or your real estate agent walk through to give you an honest opinion. 

" Keep the property nice and bright." 

Pay attention to light fixtures. Old, corroded fixtures can make a property seem beat up. Adding new fixtures can update the look and feel of your home. 

 

Next up is the color palette. If you have green, yellow, and orange throughout the property, it’s not going to show very well. People want neutral colors. 

 

Finally, consider staging the property. Have a consultant come by and make your home look its best.
