“Tricks of the trade to get Top Dollar for Your Home”
- Enhance Curb Appeal: To sell quickly, it’s vital to create a favorable first impression. The initial view a buyer encounters is the exterior of the home and its harmony with the neighborhood. To enhance your home’s curb appeal, focus on both the property and its surroundings.
- Prepare your Home: Make sure your home is spotless, free of clutter, and devoid of personal items to help potential buyers visualize themselves living there. Consider hiring professional cleaners before important showings.
Arrange your furniture to create a welcoming atmosphere and ensure easy navigation for potential buyers. If needed, consider storing large items to prevent rooms from feeling crowded.
To showcase your home’s top features and entice potential buyers for a swift sale at a good price, consider hiring a stager. While staging can be expensive, data indicates that staged homes sell 88% faster and for 20% more than unstaged homes, making it a valuable investment.
3. Address Immediate Repairs: You may not have the opportunity for extensive renovations, so prioritize quick repairs to address potential deterrents for buyers. Evaluate the home and handle straightforward fixes such as:
- Securing loose tiles in the bathroom or kitchen.
- Tightening loose hinges on doors or cabinets.
- Clearing or replacing stuck drawer tracks.
- Fixing any leaky faucets and ensuring all plumbing is functional.
- Removing carpet stains or refinishing hardwood floors.
Depending on your budget and timeframe for preparing the home, you might also consider updating fixtures, purchasing new appliances, installing fresh hardware on cabinets, and applying a neutral coat of paint to the interior.
4. Paint the Interior and Exterior: Paint is a great way to give your home a lift. Paint helps make the home look cleaner, smell better, and gives the home a fresher look. Hire a professional to get the job done quicker!
5. Price the Home to Sell!: Zillow is not a true home value to go by! It can be misleading and cause you to over price your home. Your home price should be determined by the previous houses similar to yours that has sold in the last six months. If possible, no more than a mile radius of your home, and the same year, and design as your home.
Before pricing your home, you should take in consideration, repairs, updates, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Your home will not sell if it is overpriced. It is better to price it at a competitive price and get multiple offers.
