5 Tips to Help You Sell Your House

If you are putting your home on the market, you’ll have a list of things to do. Here are five great tips to help you sell your house quickly.

1. Order a Pre-listing Inspection to Sell Your House

A pre-listing home inspection report details the condition of your home before its seen by prospective buyers. Some issues might be obvious to you, but there may also be problems you’re unaware of.

Your inspection report will inform you of any issues and problems that a homebuyer will likely want to be repaired. If there are defects to any major systems, such as the roof, plumbing, foundation, or heating system, address them as soon as possible.

Sharing your pre-listing inspection report with potential buyers will make your home stand out, and will show that you’re serious about making a deal.

2. Improve Curb Appeal

Keep the lawn mowed and in good shape while it’s on the market so it appeals to more buyers. Pressure wash the driveway, deck, and siding to remove debris and make surfaces look new. Washing the windows is another good way to boost curb appeal.

Plant flowers in containers on your porch and along the edge of your lawn to make your home more welcoming. Potential buyers will appreciate the care and attention you’ve given to your property.

3. Declutter the Living Spaces

Before listing the house, declutter your entire home. A cluttered space feels overwhelming and turns off prospective homebuyers. Get rid of things that you don’t need, and store items you want to keep but take up too much space. Decluttering will make the rooms look cleaner and more spacious.

4. Stage the Home

Staging is the process in which a home is arranged to appeal to potential buyers. This can be done by adding décor and rearranging furniture throughout the house. Staging helps people picture themselves living in the home.

If you don’t feel confident doing this yourself, hire a professional to make your home look great. Your real estate agent will likely be able to recommend a company to handle the staging.

5. Sell Your House with the Help of a Real Estate Agent

Selling a home on your own can be overwhelming. Hire a professional with experience to help guide you through the process. A real estate agent has access to local market data and will also help with contracts and negotiations with the buyer.
