If you are selling your home, you’ll need to make sure that your home is always ready to show and will make a good impression on potential buyers. Here are seven things you can do to help you with this.
1. Start with the outside. Mow your lawn, keep it clean and well-manicured, consider planting colorful flowers, and clear out any clutter such as old, worn-out furniture or your children’s toys and sports equipment.
2. Consider giving your front door a fresh coat of paint or replacing the hardware. Put pretty potted plants on either side of your door, bring out a welcome mat, and make sure that it is well-lit and replace your porch light if needed.
3. Check for leaks throughout your home and have them fixed. Be sure to check all your bathroom faucets and the kitchen sink.
4. Clean out your closets and storage areas. Donate old clothes, books, toys and furniture to local charities. This will clear out a lot of clutter, make your home feel much more spacious, and give potential plenty of space to move around.
5. Hire a professional cleaning service to clean your carpets, especially if you are planning to include them as part of the sale.
6. Caulk around tubs and sinks. New caulk looks infinitely better than old caulk, and this way you will also prevent leaks.
7. Replace broken and old light bulbs and make sure each room in your home is bright and well-lit to give it a cheerful, inviting atmosphere. Use as much wattage as is appropriate in each area of your home.
