As a homeowner, you can play an important part in how quickly your home can be sold. Review these 10 tips to see how you can get your home ready and sold at the best possible price in Southlake.
- Make the Most of that First Impression: A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does a freshly painted – or at least freshly scrubbed – front door. Do it yourself, or hire a professional.
- Invest a Few Hours and Spruce Up the Interior: Clean up the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, consider some minor redecoration. If you’re worried about time, hire professional cleaners or painters to get your house ready.
- Check Faucets and Bulbs: Dripping water or leaky faucets suggest worn out and outdated plumbing. Make sure the house is well lit and all lights are working. You don’t want to leave a potential buyer in the dark.
- Make Your Bathroom Sparkle: Bathrooms sell homes. Make sure everything is squeaky clean, you have your best towels out and the shower is cleaned and damage is repaired.
- Create Dream Bedrooms: Bedrooms are where you can relax and unwind, so make sure your bedrooms are cozy and spacious. Make sure the beds are made
- Let the Sun Shine Through: Natural light brings a cheerful mood to any room. Let a potential homebuyer see how bright your home is.
- Consider Your Closets: Potential homebuyers are looking for space, especially when it comes to closets. The more organized a closet is, the larger it appears.
- Watch Your Pets: Dogs and cats are great companions, but at times can get in the way of guests. When your home is being shown make sure your furry friends are either outside or at least out of the way.
- Keep a Low Profile: Let the agent do the job of showing your home. The REALTOR® knows their client the best and will highlight the features that fit the potential homebuyer’s needs. Prospects want to view your home with no distraction.
- Get Rid of the Clutter: We are all guilty of keeping things we don’t need or use. A new homebuyer is looking for space and is visualizing your home with their belongings in mind. Make sure everything is picked up and put
