Here are five simple ways to prepare your house for sale: 

Declutter and depersonalize

Remove personal items and clutter, and organize the space so that buyers can envision themselves living there. We want a buyer to focus on your house, relaxed without distraction.

Make repairs

Buyers and buyer agents can “horribilize” minor repairs which can often times clog up our negotiations and even sink a sale based upon fear or concern. Let's Identify and plan repairs, and get estimates for major repairs. You can hire a repair person or do the work yourself. 

Paint

After all these years in real estate, I am still amazed at how a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a stale or tired property.

Staging

Staging can increase the perceived value of your home and help it sell faster. Awaken an empty room, void of any emotion. Here is a look at simple before and after images. These images are all "virtual staging" images provided by Padstyler.

According to multiple studies, including data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), staged homes generally sell faster and for a higher price compared to unstaged homes, with many reports indicating that staging can significantly reduce the time a property spends on the market and increase the offer price by a percentage point or more.

Professional Photography

Professional photography can make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
