Thinking About Selling Your House?

Here’s a list of some things to do before you put it on the market

De-clutter your garage and home. Cleaning out storage closets, cabinets, and other places is a good idea. Also, clear off counters and put personal belongings away throughout your home.

Make a thorough cleaning of your home. Clean the windows, clean the stoves, shine the floors, wash the baseboards, and make the rooms gleam. Professionally clean your carpets, upholstery, and draperies.

Take care of the trim, doors, gutters, and siding on your home’s exterior to keep it looking nice. Check to see if your external lights are working and that your mailbox is clean.

Give your grass and landscaping some tender loving care. Pruning trees and vegetation, raking leaves and waste, and planting flowers are all things that should be done. To maintain the outside of the house looking its best while it’s on the market, schedule lawn maintenance.

Repair any leaking faucets and stuck doors, clogged drains, damaged weather stripping, ripped window screens, or other problems that require attention.

Make a list of the best aspects of your home for your real estate agent. They’ll welcome having specific information to include in listing descriptions and to discuss with potential purchasers.

Adding a home warranty. The seller’s coverage option on a home warranty helps protect your house while it’s on the market by lowering the amount you have to invest in a property you’re leaving.
