Selling your home doesn't just mean hiring a
realtor to stick a sign out front. There are a
lot of preparations you should make to ensure you
get the best offer possible in the shortest time.
Repair
Just because youve gotten used to the cracks in
the walls and the rattles in the radiators
doesnt mean a buyer will too. If you have
hardwood floors that need refinishing, be sure to
get it donehardwood is a huge selling point.
Buyers like to snoop around, so be sure to fix
any sticky doors or drawers as well. Finally,
dont forget to address any issues with the
exteriorfences, shingles, sidewalks, etc. After
all, without curb appeal, some buyers may never
get to see the inside.

Neutralize
You want buyers to see themselves in your home.
If your living room has lime green shag,
wood-paneled walls, and all your collectibles and
personal photographs, this will be much harder
for them to do. Try replacing any bold color
choices in your floors and walls with something
more neutralbeiges, tans, and whites. Repainting
and reflooring will make everything look fresh
and new, and help prospective buyers imagine all
the possibilities.

Stage
Once your house is clean and updated, its time
to play dress up. Home stagers can add small
details and décor touches that will bring out the
possibilities in the various spaces in your home
lamps, mirrors, throw rugs and pillows, flowers,
decorative soaps and towels, patio furniture.
Home staging can be particularly useful if your
home is especially old or if the exterior looks
dated. Think of it as a little mascara and
rougeif its done right, you notice the beauty,
not the makeup.
