Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you are thinking about selling your home then there can be a long list of tasks and projects that you need to get done before you list your home. Don’t get stressed about everything that needs doing, instead take it one step at a time and you may be surprised with the results.
Redecorate
If your home is looking a bit worse for wear after living there for so long then you may want to redecorate. Many individuals and families don’t want to invest in a fixer-upper so you want your home looking its best. A simple coat of paint or some warm water to get dirty marks off is something all your home needs. However, if there is wallpaper peeling off or paint chipping away then it may be time to head to the local DIY store. Take a walk around your property and see what needs doing then go from there.
Use Storage
You may be starting to declutter your home for when potential buyers start to arrange viewings. Storage units can be your best friend as you can use them short term or long term, find the one that works for you. You will need to know what size unit you need, the experts at your local store will be able to give you more information on this. The greatest thing about storage lock ups is that you can typically gain access whenever you need to and they are on a pay monthly basis.
Contact Realtors
Something you need to decide is whether you are going to sell your home privately or use a realtor to sell it for you. A realtor costs money from the sale but it will give you peace of mind that everything is being handled for you. Find a reputable one that has experience selling homes just like yours. They may also have access to photographers who will come in and photograph your home ready for listing online.
Repairs
Another thing you need to do is carry out repairs so that new owners don’t walk into a home that is falling apart. If you have pests that are causing damage to your property then you will need to contact pest control to get this sorted. It might be a good idea to arrange a pre-sale survey so you can get ahead of the game before new buyers arrange their own survey. This will give you an idea of everything that needs fixing before you list your home for sale.
Clean
Finally, if you want your home to sell for a great price then you will need to ensure it is cleaner than it has ever been before. Similarly to how buyers don’t want a fixer-upper, they also don’t want to own a dirty house. Although houses can be cleaned, the foundations have to be there before the cleaning can begin. Make sure that you clean your home top to bottom if you have any viewings coming up. This will get buyers interested and putting offers in with your realtor in no time at all.
