First impressions matter, and properly preparing your home can lead to faster sales and higher offers. Typical buyers desire a move-in-ready home that looks well-maintained and inviting.
Step 1: Declutter, Clean, and Stage
Remove personal items to help buyers visualize the space as their own.
Deep clean carpets, floors, and windows for a fresh appearance.
Consider professional staging to highlight your home’s best features.
Step 2: Make Necessary Repairs and Improvements
Fix minor cosmetic issues like chipped paint, loose door handles, or leaky faucets.
Consider updating outdated fixtures and enhancing curb appeal.
Small improvements can increase perceived value and attract more competitive offers.
Step 3: Set the Right Price
Work with your real estate agent to conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).
Pricing too high can discourage buyers, while pricing too low can leave money on the table.
A strategic price generates interest and competitive offers.
