Preparing Your Home for Sale

Impartial Objective Assessment

Before you put your home on the market, take an impartial look at your property, inside and out. You may have only one chance to pique potential buyers’ interest when they view your home, so don’t let easily correctable flaws stand in the way.

Don’t Make Big Changes

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® suggests that sellers spend as little as possible on pre-sale repairs and improvements. While new tile might really spark up your kitchen, potential buyers probably won’t increase their purchase offers enough to compensate your expenses.

Focus On The Details

Instead, focus on the small, relatively inexpensive touch-ups that will give your house a polished, well-maintained appearance. A fresh coat of neutral paint in your bedrooms and new cabinet knobs in the kitchen and bathrooms are small changes that buyers will appreciate.

Thoroughly clean the insides of appliances and wash and deodorize carpets. In addition, clean out closets and cabinets; this gives your home a more spacious appearance. Check for and repair cracks, leaks, and other damage to walls, floors, paint, and the attic.

Facelift Curb Appeal

You also need to ensure that your home’s exterior curb appeal is attractive to buyers. Maintain the upkeep of your lawn, including mowing, watering, and weeding. Fertilize and seed your existing vegetation/foliage, but don’t plant new shrubs or trees. Examine doors, windows, and the overall exterior for peeling paint. Repair loose or damaged roof shingles, siding and caulking.

Bass Lake Realty Is Here For YOU

Your REALTOR® can assist you in recommending specific renovations and touch-ups that will make your house stand out to buyers. He or she should be able to explain expected returns on investments you make to enhance your home’s saleability.
