If you are planning to sell your home, you want to make sure it attracts potential buyers and standout from the competition.
Here are some tips on how to make your home standout more and increase your chances of getting a good offer.
Clean and declutter.
A clean and tidy home gives a good impression and makes the space look bigger and brighter. Get rid of any unnecessary items, organize your closets and cabinets, and make sure everything is dusted and polished. You can also hire a professional cleaning service to do a deep cleaning before you list your home.
Paint and update.
A fresh coat of paint can make a big difference in the appearance of your home. Choose neutral colors that appeal to a wide range of buyers and match the style of your home. You can also update some fixtures and hardware, such as faucets, knobs, lighting, and switches, to give your home a more modern look.
Stage and accessorize.
Staging your home means arranging the furniture and decor in a way that showcases the best features of your home and creates a welcoming atmosphere. You can use some accessories, such as pillows, rugs, plants, and artwork, to add some color and personality to your home. However, don't overdo it and keep it simple and minimalistic.
Boost curb appeal.
The exterior of your home is the first thing buyers see, so you want to make sure it looks inviting and well-maintained. You can do some landscaping, such as mowing the lawn, trimming the bushes, planting some flowers, and adding some mulch. You can also paint or replace your front door, mailbox, house numbers, and porch light, to make your home more attractive.
Hire a professional photographer.
The photos of your home are what will catch the attention of online buyers and make them want to see more. Therefore, you should hire a professional photographer who knows how to capture the best angles and lighting of your home and highlight its features. You can also ask your real estate agent for advice on how to prepare your home for photos.
Here are more tips to make your home more appealing when selling:
Depersonalize your home.
Update your lighting and fix any minor repairs.
Address any pet, damp, or mold issues.
Have your home inspected and cleaned.
Add some creative touches like mosaic window art or fancy ceiling fans.
You can also choose low-maintenance materials if you’re doing some last-minute upgrades to sell your home, such as replacing flooring or countertops. Many potential buyers don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning and maintenance. Also, make sure your yard is low-maintenance so buyers aren’t intimidated by potential upkeep.
If you have a lot of family photos on the wall or several pieces of your child’s artwork on the refrigerator door, you should take them down and store them out of sight. This will help buyers see the home as a clean slate they could make their own.
Dusty tables, dirty countertops and messy bathrooms won’t appeal to buyers. Make sure your home is in show-worthy shape by doing a thorough cleaning. Also, be sure to keep things as tidy as possible while the home is on the market as Realtors could request a showing at any time.
Good light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do what you have to do to make your house bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
