Local Selling Tips

Now is a great time to sell as inventory levels have still not caught up to demand.

Here are some tips to get your home ready to put on the market:

Take a critical look at the curb appeal. The home needs to look inviting from the outside. This can be achieved a number of ways. Update the landscaping with new plants and mulch, paint the front door a bright color and add a new doormat to match. Clean the gutters and any exterior lights.

Take a critical look at the inside as well. Paint does wonders and is fairly inexpensive. Clutter needs to go as well. Too many knick-knacks take away from the home itself. Pare down the items stored in closets, laundry room, and pantry. This will showcase the amount of storage that your home has to offer. Consider hiring professionals to clean as they have a critical eye, if not, give everything a good scrub. include the inside and outside of windows. Have the air conditioning serviced, change the filters and clean the vents as well.

A real estate agent can help you decide on what to keep, what to give away and offer tips on items that should be done to put your home in the best light for showings.

Good Luck!
