1. Clean your home. It's obvious but important. Your home needs to be presentable for showings.
2. Get your carpet cleaned. Having your carpet professionally cleaned will make your home look brand new.
3. Eliminate odors. If you typically smoke indoors, you should take it outside in the months leading up to putting your home on the market. Pet odors should also be taken care of.
4. Depersonalize your home. If you want potential buyers to feel at home, take down family pictures and religious paraphernalia.
5. Stage your property. If your home is vacant, adding furniture will make your home look a lot more inviting.
6. Improve the curb appeal. First impressions are crucial. Put some fresh mulch down and make sure the yard is mowed.
7. Make small repairs. Spend a few hundred dollars to ensure buyers don't get distracted by little things that need fixing. You don't want them to see your home as a money pit
8. Apply neutral colored paint. To make your home attractive to the largest number of buyers, make sure your walls are painted a neutral color - loud colors will scare many away.

Following these simple tips will make your home more competitive in the market. If you have any questions about what else you can do to make your home irresistible to buyers, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love to be your real estate resource!
