Five easy steps to prep your home for resale!!

Five easy steps to prep your home for resale. Are you looking to sell your home? Then these 5 easy step will help you get started.

1. Clean it. Make sure your home is clean. Not just the surfaces, but all the hidden places. Buyers do 

    check out all the areas in your home, so don't assume they won't see it.

 2. Deodorize it. Now that your home is clean, does it smell clean? Pets and cooking odors can 

     linger, so make sure it can passes the "sniff test".

3. Fix it. Do you have cracked ceilings? Cracked tiles? Leaking faucets? Make sure you address all 

    issues.  If not, buyers will interpret this as a home that's been neglected!!  This in turn will low-

   ball their offer!! They may even walk away thinking too much work needs to be done. Don't let 

   this happen to you.

 4. Maximize it. Square footage sells. Is your home too cramped with furniture? A good rule of 

     thumb, eliminate about 50% of non-essentials from your home. Don't forget to check you

     closets. Buyers will look for storage space.  My rule-of-thumb, nothing on the floor!!

5. Decorate it. Ok now that you've done the first 4 steps, it's time to decorate it. Buyers fall in love

    with a home that has a warm and welcoming feel to it. This is not about decorating to your taste! 

    Remember to keep it simple. Check out magazines and home stores to get inspirations. If you find 

    it difficult, hire a home stager. It's well-worth the cost!!
