Always start by contacting your real estate home pro and request your personal market analysis and home evaluation along with a marketing plan and strategy to determine the details. As a homeowner, here are 3 simple keys that can be done before the home hits the market to help achieve the top market sale price.

Clean Sells

A clean home is more appealing to buyers and gives the impression of a well-maintained property. Start with a deep clean of both the interior and exterior. Make the home smell and feel fresh by cleaning carpets, washing windows, and wiping down surfaces. Pay extra attention to the entrance area, as first impressions matter. Spruce it up with a few colorful potted plants to create a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, remove old items or clutter from around the home and property to present a neat and organized space.

Fix What's Broken

Addressing small repairs can make a significant difference in how buyers perceive the home. Fix any broken items, such as doors that don’t close properly or leaky faucets. Replace non-working light bulbs to brighten up the rooms. It's also wise to have the roof inspected by a reputable licensed roofing company. This inspection is typically free and allows any issues to be addressed before a buyer's home inspection, preventing potential deal breakers after an offer is made.

You Are Moving, Declutter

Since you’re planning to move, now is the perfect time to start packing. Declutter by boxing up all knickknacks, extra decor, and anything not essential. The goal is to make the home feel spacious and open, allowing potential buyers to envision themselves in the space. A clean, organized home with minimal personal items helps buyers imagine their own belongings and lifestyle within the property.

Conclusion

Preparing your home for sale doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on cleaning, making necessary repairs, and decluttering, you enhance your home’s appeal and increase its market value. Combine these steps with a professional marketing plan from your real estate expert, and you’ll be well on your way to achieving the top market sale price for your property.
