Preparing Your Home For Quick Sale

Here are some tips to make your home more attractive to potential buyers:  

  • Have a home inspection performed.  Knowledge of a home's current
    condition helps when pricing the house and negotiating with buyers.

  • Repair damages before the sale and save money on repairs.  Think about
    it.  Would you rather replace damaged sections of the roof or re-roof the
    entire house?

  • Have routine service on heating and cooling systems.  Routine
    maintenance service can prevent surprises that might be uncovered by
    the buyer's home inspection.  

  • Wash windows.  In addition to improving your home's appearance and
    bringing light into the rooms, washing may uncover broken seals in
    thermal pane windows.  

  • Repair windows and doors that don't operate correctly.  Windows may
    simply be painted shut and doors may need an adjustment or sanding.  

  • Have a garage sale, donate to a thrift store, or rent a storage locker to
    clear out excess "stuff."  Your home will seem larger and more attractive.

  • Remove personal items like photographs and awards.  The buyer is
    interesting in the house, not the history.

  • Repaint walls a neutral color and clean or replace carpets, tile, linoleum,
    and flooring.  A small investment before showing your home can translate
    to a bigger payoff at the bargaining table.

  • Remember, curb appeal is the first step to a sale.  Have the outside of
    your home power-washed and paint all exposed wood surfaces.  Keep
    your lawn mowed and edged, plant flowers, and trim shrubs and trees.  If
    the yard is a mess, the buyer might assume the same for the inside of the
    house and just keep driving.
