| Listing your home on the market is more than placing a For Sale sign in the yard. Listing your home is about marketing the property to receive the highest asking price for your property. The most important time to sell occurs when the sign goes in the yard.
In today's market when homes are taking a little longer to sell, it is important to work with a professional Realtor who offers a full line of services to effectively market your home. Being affiliated with the #1 company in the Mid-South, I offer many services to my clients to activley sell your home. Below are some important tips in preparing your home to sell. - Create curb appeal. If your home is not well maintained on the outside, most buyers may not want to even look inside.
- Trim bushes and overgrown shrubbery.
- Keep yard mowed.
- Freshen up mulch beds.
- Plant fresh flowers in the yard.
- Clean exterior vinyl, if applicable.
- Re-paint exterior doors.
- Clean vinyl soffit and fascia (gutters).
- First impressions are sometimes last impressions. When a potential buyer walks into your home, let it be the home to remember.
- Update flooring.
- Replace outdated light fixtures with new modern fixtures.
- Touch up paint throughout home.
- Neutralize paint colors.
- Organize closets. Buyers want to see storage space.
- If rooms are crowed, remove items and store furniture while home is listed. Less is always more.
- Benefits of Staging Your Home. A home a person lives in is usually not the home that they sell. Staging your home can sometimes lead to receiving a higher asking price for your home. Staging a home is about rearranging your furniture to allow the home to appear larger. It also entails using some of your items to re-decorate or bringing in a few items while the home is listed.
