Thinking of listing your home? Here’s a few ideas to get your home ready for market!

01. Declutter your cabinets and closets: It’s easier for buyers to see themselves in your home when they have less stuff to look past! Cleaning out and organizing your cabinets and closets is an easy first step! Only leave behind the things you use day to day. Any seasonal items can be packed away and stored.

02. Remove any large furniture that makes the room appear smaller: Removing any oversized furniture will make your rooms appear larger. If big furnature peoices are covering the walls and taking up floor space, buyers may feel the home is too cramped.

03. Refresh the walls with a bright clean color: Painting is the cheapest and most effective way to update your home. A fresh coat of paint will open up the space and make your home appear more updated. Don’t forget to touch up the doors, trim, baseboards and ceiling. Years of dirt and dust may not be noticed by you, but potential buyers will pick up on it. Pick a neutral color that complements many styles.

04. Clean up the landscaping: The yard, driveway, and front of the home is the first thing perspective buyers see when coming to view your home. A clean, manicured lawn, bright flowers, and a fresh coat of paint on the front door is a great way to start off a showing!
