In this blog we are going to go over preparing a home for sale. The first thing everyone should know is that selling a house is never fun. You have people walking in & out of your house and you never know how serious they are. So what do you have to do to have a successful home sale & to prepare it properly.
A Good Realtor Can Help With Preparation
If you have a good Realtor, in most cases they can tell you what to do & what not to do. A Realtor's job is to ultimately get your home sold, but they want it in market ready condition. So, to get your home market ready be prepared to do the following things:
- Paint all walls or rooms a neutral color. The hottest color right now is the light gray or light tan
- Take down any family photos or personal memorabilia. This will help the next buyer picture themselves in the home
- Get rid of old or un-used furniture. Make sure the space IS NOT cluttered.
- Have the house smelling fresh & clean for all showings
Cost Associated With Preparing a House
In most cases it should cost you under $1,000 dollars to get your home ready for sale. Of course, by doing the work ahead of time it does set you up better for a smoother transaction & quicker home sale. I would highly recommend speaking with a Realtor prior to listing your home on the market so they can give you an idea on what to do & how much you will get in return.
