Ready to list your home? Let’s make it shine for potential buyers! First Impressions Count: Aim for a clean, decluttered space that lets buyers easily picture themselves living there. Keep it neutral and welcoming.

We have 10 Top Tips, here’s 7 of them:

1. Give Your Home a Deep Clean: Odors and Stains Be Gone: A clean home is inviting. Consider professional cleaners for tough jobs like carpet stains to ensure everything is spotless.

2. Hire a Handyman: Small Fixes Make a Big Difference: Address those little annoyances—leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and the like. A quick walk-through to note what needs fixing can make your home more appealing.

3. Get Estimates for Any Major Repairs: Be ready and know about any big repairs needed and have estimates on hand. It’s about transparency and being prepared for buyer negotiations.

4. Declutter for Space: Less Is More: Clearing out unnecessary items makes your home look bigger and allows buyers to imagine their own belongings there. Consider storage for extra stuff.

5. Paint for a Fresh Look: Neutral Wins: Bright colors are fun, but neutral tones like gray or beige appeal to more people and make spaces feel larger.

6. Depersonalize Your Space: Make It Theirs, Not Yours: Removing personal touches helps buyers see themselves in your home. Think of creating a blank canvas for their imaginations.

7. Get Camera and Showing Ready: Since many buyers first spot your home online, make a great virtual first impression. Tidy up, hide personal items, and ensure your home is ready for its close-up, inside and out. Clear off kitchen and bathroom counters. Put shoes and jackets away in closets. Make all the beds. Remove any pet items. Cut the lawn, weed, and remove any lawn decor.
