Selling a home in the least amount of time and for the most money requires that the home is marketed correctly, priced properly, and of course prepped for sale. Here are 6 tips that I recommend:
1) Declutter
One of the best ways to make a home inviting to potential buyers is removing items that take space. Remove personal belonging like family photos, toys, jewelry, medicine, magazines, and pet items. Make space to create interest and potential buyers can visualize themselves living there.
According to the 2021 Profile of Home Staging, published the National Association of Realtors Research Group, “82 percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.”
2) Deep Clean
A home should smell fresh and look clean. A few ways to accomplish this, includes steam cleaning the carpets and drapes, cleaning the hardwood floors, scrubbing the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen. If the carpet continues to appear stained after cleaning, consider replacing the carpet. For pet odors, visit your local pet store or shop online for products to remove pet odors.
3) Add Curb Appeal – trim shrubs and trees, mow and water the lawn, power wash the home’s windows.
In addition, check the status of the front door, doorbell and address number for repairs or replacements.
4) Price Home Properly: Your Realtor should provide, analyze and discuss the market data of similar homes sold in your neighborhood to help you determine a fair market value of your home.
5) Market the Home Correctly – make sure your professional Realtor has a comprehensive marketing plan. This should include taking professional photos and video, offering virtual tours, promoting the home on social media and Facebook Marketplace, plus advertising on Facebook and YouTube.
6) Hire a Real Estate Professional: Let the professional Realtor guide you through the entire selling process. In today's changing real estate market, Realtors are using virtual and other digital technologies, plus following safety COVID-19 guidelines to keep customers safe during the sale of their home.
