The "for sale" sign is out front and the open house is scheduled, but have you done everything inside and out to make potential buyers bite? Showing your home at its best requires more than dusting and organizing. You’ll need to help potential buyers imagine themselves living in your home, which means allowing the home to be theirs, not yours.
Realtor.com has a lot of great tips for sellers, such as:
-
Remove photos and most personal items
-
Remove knickknacks from windowsills and counter tops
-
Clear the sidewalk, lawn, and curb
-
Empty closets and cabinets
-
Store, donate, or throw away items you don’t need
-
Move large bookcases or furniture into storage
-
Fix leaky faucets, patch holes in the wall
-
Fix cracked tiles and fussy drawers
-
Repaint rooms in neutral colors
-
Most important, clean your house from top to bottom.
