Consider these tips to catch the attention of prospective buyers.
Lighten it up: A bright home appears to be more welcoming than one that's dark and sullen. Do everything you can to add some light to your space such as taking down drapes or changing their fabric. Other tips include using light colored lamp shades, cleaning windows, and replacing fluorescent bulbs.
What’s My Home Worth?
Satisfy their sense of smell: No one wants to buy a home that smells like a gym bag. To make your home smell nice and fresh for prospective buyers, add a few scented items to every room: potpourri, flowers, air fresheners. You can even go the extra mile to do your dirty laundry (yes, the smell of it can filter into any room), or bake a pie or a loaf of bread before buyers pop by.
Declutter: Every prospective buyer will look at a home and picture their items in it, from art to larger pieces of furniture like couches and televisions. They won't be able to do that if your space is full of knickknacks and clutter. It is important to clear your shelves and walls of as many little objects as you can before you start showing your space (just don't go overboard; you still want your space to look lived in).
Pricing is incredibly important: Talk to a real estate agent to get a good idea of what your home may be worth.
Create curb appeal: First impressions count. Make sure your home stands out by clearing your front yard of weeds or dead leaves. Spruce up the window trim or repaint it with a brighter color. Fix loose patio stones or seal cracks in your driveway.
Be ready to show your space: Prospective buyers can contact their real estate agents to see any space at a moment's notice, so when trying to sell your home, it's best to be prepared for last minute pop-ins. Keep your space neat and tidy and dust bunny free; wash the dishes; make sure your laundry is done or in the laundry bin; and, put pets in a separate area so buyers aren't
alarmed when they walk through the door.
