Making Buyers Feel at Home!

Considerations Before Putting a Home Up for Sale

Many people may find it difficult to prepare a home that is to be put on the market, as there are a lot of aspects to address. Of course, it is always important for repairs to be made, to maintain cleanliness and upkeep, as well as considering potentially necessary renovations. Even when these essential factors are addressed, many homeowners still overlook how potential buyers perceive their home.

When prepping a home for sale you want to make sure your house looks charming and inviting; yet not so lived in that it is off-putting to potential buyers. One way to do this is by looking at the essence of your homes particular style. Most buyers are drawn to a certain type of décor that is specific to their individual taste that they will often seek out during their search for a new residence. Though it is impossible to appeal to everyone’s tastes, here are five tips to ensure your home evokes a pleasant and desirable atmosphere.

Steps for Prepping to Sell a Home (Before Showing or Open House)

1. Invest in landscaping, especially around the front door, to create an immediate inviting entrance.

2. Make sure everything is functional (i.e. sliding doors, door knobs, and handles).

3. Keep walls and towels white in order to make a room look spacious and clean.

4. Keep furniture and artwork to a bare minimum. This allows potential buyers to look beyond your décor (especially if it does not appeal to them) and better envision the space as their own, increasing desirability. This includes making sure to keep all of the counters clean (especially in the kitchen).

5. Make sure to eliminate all food smells or other strong odors that may be lingering throughout the house (light/cleaner smells should be sought after).
