Minor repairs and staging can significantly boost your home’s value.
Are you gearing up to sell your home this year? It’s a great time to sell, especially in this seller’s market, but there’s more to a good sale than just proper timing. Today, I will share three expert tips that will make your home stand out to attract buyers and get multiple offers:
1. Tackle minor repairs first. Buyers notice the little things, and small issues like chipped paint, worn caulking, or an unstained deck can raise red flags. While we’re not talking about major renovations, addressing these minor repairs upfront can make a big difference in how your home is perceived. Taking the time to handle these small fixes ensures that buyers focus on the potential of the home, not the maintenance issues.
“Getting your home ready before listing is key to attracting top offers.”
2. Stage your home. Staging is one of the most effective ways to make your home more appealing to buyers. Start by depersonalizing and removing personal photos and any clutter that might distract potential buyers from visualizing the space as their own. If you’re planning on getting rid of items, do it now. A clutter-free home feels more spacious and inviting, and staging the space thoughtfully will create a great first impression.
3. Have a plan for pets and children during showings. It’s important to have a plan for your pets and children during showings. Buyers shouldn’t have to navigate around pet food bowls or toys, so make sure to tidy up these items throughout the day and have a plan for where you’ll take your pets and kids during last-minute showings. This ensures a smooth, distraction-free experience for potential buyers.
By following these three tips, you’ll be setting yourself up for a successful home sale.
