Tips & Tricks for Selling Your Home

A little love can go a long way.

  • Stage Your Home: Present the way homebuyer’s will live. Arrange furniture to highlight the home's best features and create an inviting atmosphere.

  • Focus on Kitchens & Bathrooms: These areas heavily influence a buyer's decision. Ensure they are clean and updated if possible. Painting kitchen cabinets is a time consuming job, but done correctly is cost efficient and makes a big difference!

  • Highlight Energy Efficiency: If applicable, showcase energy-efficient features like new windows, insulation, or appliances.

  • Apply a Fresh Coat of Paint: Warm, light brown will replace gray as a neutral of choice this year. Terracotta accents add character into spaces. White walls are still in! Painting the trim in your home gives an instant refresh!

  • Show Off Unique Features: If your home has standout features—like a fireplace or scenic views—make sure these are emphasized.

THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

  • Enhance Curb Appeal: First impressions matter. Ensure your home's exterior is clean, tidy, and welcoming. Consider painting the front door, planting flowers, and maintaining the lawn.

  • Deep Clean: A spotless home is more appealing. Clean carpets, windows, and all surfaces thoroughly.

  • Make Minor Repairs: Fix leaky faucets, replace broken tiles, and touch up paint where needed. These small improvements can make a big difference.

  • Upgrade Lighting: Ensure rooms are well-lit. Consider brighter bulbs or adding lamps to dark areas.

  • Get a Pre-Listing Inspection: Identify and address potential issues before listing your home to avoid surprises during negotiations—the cost pays for itself.

Showcasing your home

  • Be Flexible with Showings: Make it easy for potential buyers to view your home by being flexible with showing times.

  • Get a Pre-Listing Inspection: Identify and address potential issues before listing your home to avoid surprises during negotiations—the cost pays for itself.

  • Living in Your Home While Selling: Clear out excess furniture, personal items, and clutter. Buyers want to envision themselves in the space. Only an essence of you and your family.

  • Lead with Honesty and Transparency: Disclose known issues to build trust with potential buyers.

  • Consider Offering Incentives: Covering closing costs, or offering a credit for a rate buy-down opens up the buyer pool. Including furniture/appliances, or providing a home warranty sweetens the deal for potential buyers.
